Summary
"This book introduces a novel synthetic paradigm of public health reasoning and epidemic modelling, and then implements it in the study of the infamous 14th century A.D. Black Death disaster that killed at least one fourth of the European population." "The book includes the most complete collection of interdisciplinary information sources available about the Black Death epidemic, each one systematically documented, tabulated, and analyzed. It also presents, for the first time, a series of detailed spacetime maps of Black Death mortality, infected area propagation, and epidemic centroid paths throughout the 14th century A.D. Europe. Preparation of the maps took into account the uncertain nature of the data and integrated a variety of interdisciplinary knowledge bases about the devastating epidemic."--BOOK JACKET.
