Opis

Malaria and Rome is the first comprehensive book on the history of malaria in Roman Italy. Aimed at an interdisciplinary readership, it explores the evolution and ecology of malaria, its medical and demographic effects on human populations in antiquity, its social and economic effects, the human responses to it, and the human interpretations of it.

Recenzje

This book is beautifully written, the photographs intelligently chosen, and the list of references comprehensive. I found it fascinating and instructive reading.
