⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: An exploration of the origins, epidemiology, and lasting impacts of the 1918 influenza pandemic.
Review: This is an exceptional—and disturbingly prescient—book. So much of this felt like it was written in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and yet it was published years before. ⬇️
Recent acquisition for our personal library.
pickTook me the better part of a year to finish this — but we finally did it.
Art was a comfort to the Greeks.

pickThis was very interesting. It goes through 500 years of history and points out things and ways we messed up the environment. It's very broad but he does a good job.

pickThe maps always change…
pickInteresting and informative although a bit dense at times (it read like a text book). Recommend for any history lovers.
