  The 2014 Ebola epidemic demonstrated the power of pandemics and their ability not only to destroy lives locally but also to capture the imagination and terrify the world. In 2019 and the years that followed, the coronavirus pandemic infected every continent and took the lives of millions. In this updated edition, Christian W. McMillen provides a concise yet comprehensive account of pandemics throughout human history, illustrating how pandemic disease has shaped history and, at the same time, social behavior has influenced pandemic disease.This Very Short Introduction describes history's major pandemics. McMillen discusses state responses to pandemics, such as quarantine, isolation, travel restrictions, and other forms of social control, and pays special attention to the rise of public health and the explosion of medical research in the wake of pandemics, especially as the germ theory of disease emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today, medicine is able to control all of these diseases, yet some of them are still devastating in much of the developing world. By assessing the relationship between poverty and disease and the geography of epidemics, McMillen offers an outspoken and thought-provoking point of view on the necessity for global governments to learn from past experiences and cooperate to prevent any future epidemic.

  Throughout history, humankind has marveled at the natural world, from the majesty of towering mountains to the depths of the oceans. Yet, some phenomena defy explanation, remaining elusive and enigmatic. One such phenomenon is the sonic anomaly known as Sound's Fury—a violent, inexplicable burst of sound that seems to break all the rules of nature. Its origins, causes, and implications have puzzled scientists, captivated the public, and left a trail of unanswered questions. This book delves deep into the sonic enigma, exploring its mystery and the far-reaching impact it has had on the world. 
  Sound's Fury, a term coined to describe these overwhelming sonic events, is not a fictional occurrence but a genuine, puzzling phenomenon that has been observed around the globe. The first reports came from isolated locations where communities were shaken by intense, thunderous sounds that appeared out of nowhere, yet left no visible source. It wasn't long before similar incidents began to spread across different regions, sparking intrigue, fear, and a sense of helplessness among those who experienced them. What makes this phenomenon even more baffling is the absence of any clear pattern or consistent explanation. 
  Over time, experts have tried to analyze these events from a scientific standpoint. Acousticians, geophysicists, and even space scientists have worked tirelessly to find answers. They have proposed several theories, ranging from natural phenomena like sonic booms or atmospheric anomalies to more complex, speculative causes, such as unknown seismic activities or extraterrestrial influences. Despite their best efforts, none of these explanations have fully captured the essence of Sound's Fury or provided a definitive answer.
