Get Well Soon: History's Worst Plagues and the Heroes Who Fought Them by Jennifer Wright, 320 pages.Jennifer Wright does a wonderful job recounting the history of some of the more well-known epidemics; the bubonic plague, cholera, and the Spanish flu, and she also talks about some of the (at least to me) lesser known plagues. I had never heard of the Antonine Plague before, and was only vaguely aware of the Dancing Plague and Encephalitis Lethargica. A great read.
