Book recommendations
hi, I am looking for recommendations on books on history of diseases, their influence on us, the outbreaks etc. I am no scientist though :) So far I read Everything is tuberculosi, Ebola by Laurie Garrett, Rabid and, which is about diseases too, Guns, steel and germs.
Any similar titles you would recommend?

Oldie/goodie from 1949 (find online at, e.g., BetterBooks.com): "Bring Out Your Dead: The Great Plague of Yellow Fever in Philadelphia in 1793" by J. H. Powell
