- "This collection examines the impact of globalization on the transmission of and response to SARS in Toronto, Hong Kong, and Singapore. With contributions from some of the most distinguished scholars in the field - along with newer, innovative works by aspiring junior researchers - Networked Disease uses the SARS outbreak as a springboard for further discussion about infectious disease management in progressively globalizing and urbanizing societies. This tightly integrated thematic selection offers a unique and timely contribution to a vitally important field of research."--BOOK JACKET.
