My wife and I leave today for a week in eastern Quebec—specifically, Gaspésie, between the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Atlantic. I'll try to post from time to time, but by all means use the links to keep yourself informed.
David Quammen: Ebola: The Natural and Human History of a Deadly Virus
David Quammen: Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic
John M. Barry: The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History
Marilyn Chase: The Barbary Plague: The Black Death in Victorian San Francisco
Ralph R. Frerichs: Deadly River: Cholera and Cover-Up in Post-Earthquake Haiti
The best book I know on the subject.
Seth Mnookin: The Panic Virus: The True Story Behind the Vaccine-Autism Controversy
Sonia Shah: Pandemic: Tracking Contagions, from Cholera to Ebola and Beyond
Highly recommended.
