McNeil, William H. Plagues and Peoples
Исследование влияния миграций болезнетворных вирусов и бактерий на всемирную историю человечества с древнейших времен до современности. Подробно рассматривается не только "Черная Смерть" середины XIV в. (унесла треть населения Европы), трансокеанские обмены со времен Колумба (95 % аборигенного населения Нового Света было выкошено именно вирусами оспы, тифа и т. п. ) и "Испанка" (19 млн. - потери больше, чем в Первой мировой войне), но процессы эволюции болезнетворных микробов в условиях перехода человеческих общин к земеледелию.
