Description

Cartographies of Disease: Maps, Mapping, and Medicine is a comprehensive survey of the technology of mapping and its relationship to the battle against disease. This look at medical mapping advances the argument that maps are not merely representations of spatial realities but a way of thinking about relationships between viral and bacterial communities, human hosts, and the environments in which diseases flourish. “”Cartographies of Disease”” traces the history of medical mapping from its growth in the nineteeth century during an era of trade and immigration to its renaissance in the 1990s during a new era of globalization.
