When Plague Strikes: The Black Death, Smallpox, AIDS Paperback - 1997
by James Cross Giblin; David Frampton (Illustrator)
Compassionate and arresting, this exploration of three major diseases that have changed the course of history--the Bubonic Plague, smallpox, and AIDS--chronicles their fearsome death toll, their lasting social, economic, and political implications and how medical knowledge and treatments have advanced as a result of the crises they have occasioned. "School Library Journal" Best Books of 1995; ALA 1996 Best Books for Young Adults; ALA 1996 Notable Children's Books.
First line
Early in 1347, a mysterious disease attacked people living near the Black Sea in what is now southern Ukraine.

Description:
New York, NY: Harper Trophy, 1997 Harper Trophy, New York. 1997. Softcover/Trade Wraps. Stated First Harper Trophy edition 1997. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Very Good; light tip bumps; rubbing and superficial scratching to wraps. No DJ. Pictorial card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 212 pp 8vo. Here is a fascinating study of three of the deadliest epidemics in human history: the Black Death, smallpox, and AIDS. Separated by centuries, these diseases evoked eerily similar social, political, and cultural reactions. Each led to new advances in science and medicine, yet each also brought out the tendency to blame and punish, as people sought and explanation for the horrible disaster around them. A clean very presentable copy.
