  Most stories of medical progress come with ready-made heroes. John Snow traced the origins of London's 1854 cholera outbreak to a water pump, leading to the birth of epidemiology. Florence Nightingale's contributions to the care of soldiers in the Crimean War transformed hospitals from crucibles of infection to sanctuaries of recuperation. Yet histories of individual innovators ignore many key sources of medical knowledge. 
   
   
   
  Reexamining the foundations of modern medicine, Jim Downs shows that the study of infectious disease depended crucially on the unrecognized contributions of nonconsenting subjects—conscripted soldiers, enslaved people, and subjects of empire. Plantations, slave ships, and battlefields were the laboratories in which physicians came to understand the spread of disease. Military doctors learned about the importance of air quality by monitoring Africans confined to the bottom of slave ships. Statisticians charted cholera outbreaks by surveilling Muslims in British-dominated territories returning from their annual pilgrimage. 
   
   
   
  The scientific knowledge derived from discarding and exploiting human life is now the basis of our ability to protect humanity from epidemics. Boldly argued and eye-opening, Maladies of Empire gives a full account of the true price of medical progress.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  In Ally Condie's Matched, the story follows Cassia, a young woman living in a seemingly utopian society where every aspect of life is controlled by the government. This includes who she will marry, her work, and even what she can read or listen to. The Society prioritizes order and efficiency and has eliminated most forms of art and free expression. However, Cassia begins to question the system when she experiences anomalies in the Matching process. Her grandfather’s death and his gift of forbidden poetry further fuel her desire for something more. She also forms a forbidden relationship with Ky, an Aberration, that sparks rebellion and a desire to understand and experience life beyond the confines of the Society. The novel explores themes of control, choice, and rebellion, as Cassia seeks personal freedom and a genuine connection in a world that values stability over individuality.
