Cover; Half-title; Title; Copyright; Contents; Preface; Conversion table for imperial to metric units; 1 Introduction; 2 Epidemiological concepts; 3 The biology of bubonic plague; 4 The Great Pestilence; 5 Case study: the plague at Penrith in 1597��8; 6 Pestilence and plague in the 16th century in England; 7 Plagues in the 16th century in northern England: a metapopulation study; 8 Plagues in London in the 17th century; 9 Plagues in the provinces in the 17th century; 10 Plague at Eyam in 1665��6: a case study

Even today, the threat of unstoppable plague is ever-present. Historically, in Europe, the most devastating plagues were between the Black Death and the Great Plague of London. This fascinating book shows that these were not bubonic plague as previously thought, and provides food for thought for social and biological scientists.
