(4) YA Mapping Global Issues series. This book recounts the history of diseases from the Black Death to various epidemics (smallpox, tuberculosis, malaria, and influenza) to the recent worldwide spread of AIDS. Rooney touches on research related to the prevention, treatment, and cures of old and new ailments. Text boxes, photographs, charts, and maps give additional insight into the readable text, but the dull layout is off-putting. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
