Price Title: Plagues in the Nation Format: Hardback Language: English Topic: Society and culture: general Publisher: Beacon Press Publication year: 2022 ISBN-13: 9780807043493 ISBN-10: 0807043494 RRP: £27.00 ------------------------------ Description ------------------------------ An expert legal review of the US government’s response to epidemics through history—with larger conclusions about COVID-19, and reforms needed for the next plague In this narrative history of the US through major outbreaks of contagious disease, from yellow fever to the Spanish flu, from HIV/AIDS to Ebola, Polly J. Price examines how law and government affected the outcome of epidemics—and how those outbreaks in turn shaped our government. Price presents a fascinating history that has never been fully explored and draws larger conclusions about the gaps in our governmental and legal response. Plagues in the Nation examines how our country learned—and failed to learn—how to address the panic, conflict, and chaos that are the companions of contagion, what policies failed America again and again, and what we must do better next time. ------------------------------ Why buy from BookCurl? ------------------------------ • 99.9% positive eBay feedback • All items brand new • Free tracked UK delivery • Independent UK bookseller with millions of titles • Secure packaging for safe delivery • Friendly support and recommendations BookCurl – Curl up with a good book.

  1. This book arrived today, exactly when the seller said it would, and was very well packaged for its journey. It is in absolutely perfect condition and it exactly as it is described on Ebay. For a book that is something of a rarity in Britain, the price was very low and having free postage made the value even greater. It is a small Christmas present for someone with the family name of 'Lucero', so this makes the exceptional way in which this seller works all the more special. Thank you greatly

  3. Excellent customer service. A book was missing from my original order but as soon as I flagged it they sent out the book. When the courier said the book was undeliverable (!) the seller refunded before I was even aware of this, then when the book arrived a few days later and I contacted the seller they said to keep it with their compliments. They responded super fast to messages also. Highly recommend!
