In this influential work of public health and environmental medicine, Marc Lappé examines the growing global threat posed by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, emerging viruses, and rapidly evolving infectious diseases. Written during the early modern resurgence of concern surrounding resistant tuberculosis, cholera, and other pathogens, the book argues that ecological disruption, overuse of antibiotics, globalization, and environmental degradation contribute directly to the rise of increasingly treatment-resistant diseases. Originally published under the title Evolutionary Medicine, this revised Sierra Club edition presents a broad interdisciplinary analysis combining epidemiology, environmental science, evolutionary biology, and healthcare policy. Lappé challenges conventional approaches to disease treatment and advocates for a more ecologically informed understanding of medicine and public health. An increasingly relevant work for collectors and readers interested in epidemiology, infectious disease history, environmental health, medical ethics, and public policy. The book also holds crossover appeal for readers interested in the historical development of discussions surrounding pandemics, antimicrobial resistance, and global health preparedness.
