It is noteworthy that the frequency of pandemics has increased over the past 2000 years. The authors identify three main drivers for the development of pandemics: transportation, human development, and changes in natural ecosystems. It is important to note that with the advent of the industrial age, the length of time it takes for a pandemic to develop has decreased. COVID-19 is certainly not the last pandemic we will face. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to learn from the past 2000 years to help educate general community and public health officials about pandemic risks and help governments prepare for the next pandemic. The book is also very useful in low and middle-income countries where, in the last several decades, viruses with potential for pandemics have originated. It's comprehensiveness and didactic style make this book a valuable read for government health agencies, private organizations, health care professionals and students. 001454571 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 15, 2023). 001454571 650_0 $$aPandemics. 001454571 650_0 $$aPandemics$$xHistory. 001454571 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001454571 7001_ $$aDoursout, Marie-Françoise J. 001454571 7001_ $$aBalingit, Joselito S. 001454571 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aFerreira, Claudia$$t2000 Years of Pandemics$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023$$z9783031100345 001454571 852__ $$bebk 001454571 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-10035-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001454571 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1454571$$pGLOBAL_SET 001454571 980__ $$aBIB 001454571 980__ $$aEBOOK 001454571 982__ $$aEbook 001454571 983__ $$aOnline 001454571 994__ $$a92$$bISE
