Lessons from past pandemics

157 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 25 cm.

"Yellow fever and typhus changed the world in the early 1800s by ending Napoleon’s imperial ambitions, while the horrors of ‘King Cholera’ later that century set the stage for much improved urban planning and hygiene. The Spanish flu of 1918-1920 savaged nations already reeling from the Great War, deepening the economic damage, while more recent outbreaks such as SARS, MERS and ebola were the warning signals that the world failed to heed. Finally, Gordon looks at the current pandemic and weighs up its likely long-term impact on retailers, the entertainment industry, airline travel, education and the global balance of power."--From the publisher's website.
