It covers the impacts generated by novel infectious disease outbreaks across various dimensions - from social and ethical to medical and political, from media to economic and legal implications. The author discusses the preparedness strategies developed globally, the lessons learned from various outbreaks and the mitigation measures deployed - from quarantine and social distancing to data sharing and surveillance systems - including their unintended impacts. While the risk of global pandemics is certainly intensely debated by the scientific community, and increasingly by policy makers at various levels, the threat is hardly discussed in the public domain. It only permeates the media during crisis events, such as during the SARS outbreak in 2003, the West African Ebola outbreak in 2014-15, and most notably the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic crisis. This book is thus highly timely and topical. It has a global scope, whilst at times zooming in on the implications of pandemic risk and mitigation for the Global North or the Global South. Given the interdisciplinarity of the topic, this book will be of great interest to a wider non-academic audience, as well as students from a range of subjects including politics, sociology, geography, anthropology, and international development, along with entry-level medical students keen to widen their appreciation of the social dimensions of the medical work they set out to conduct"--cProvided by publisher. 7aEpidemics.2BUEsh 7aEpidemicsxSocial aspects.2BUEsh 7aEpidemicsxEconomic aspects.2BUEsh 7aEpidemicsxPolitical aspects.2BUEsh 7aSARS (Disease)2BUEsh 7aEbola virus disease.2BUEsh 7aCOVID-19 (Disease)2BUEsh 7aCommunicable diseases.2BUEsh939999  bGGENcMarch2022  vReading book93423208iOnline version:aPieri, Elisa,tPandemics: the basicsdMilton Park, Abingdon, Oxon ; New York : Routledge, 2021.z9781003102892w(DLC) 2020046510  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddccBB  c29833d29804  00102ddc40708AlahramaMAINbMAINc1STd2022-03-03ePurchaseg369.00h282l1o614.4 PIEp000056191r2025-07-15 00:00:00s2022-06-15v461.25w2022-03-03yBB
