Rezension

“The book … is an essential and powerful work of compilation of diverse experiences related to epidemics, body dumping, fear of contamination, hasty burials, isolation, plague riots, all themes of the greatest relevance today. … It is written in a language accessible to all audiences and achieves the goal of the series Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in Modern History to cut across conventional academic boundaries through stimulating interdisciplinary approaches. … This book definitely held my interest.” (Simone Rodrigues Pinto, Human Remains and Violence, Vol. 8 (1), April, 2022)
