Summary Survey of the uses and abuses of quarantines, from the days of the Black Death to the lockdowns of Covid-19. Journalists Manaugh and Twilley meld a global view of a timely subject with detailed accounts of quarantines, whether of people or hazardous plants, animals, and chemicals such as nuclear waste. The authors show how--since the emergence of “lazarettos,” the quarantine hospitals of medieval Venice and other Adriatic ports--authorities have strived to contain dreaded hazards. Among many others, these have included the bubonic plague, yellow fever, tuberculosis, Ebola, and cholera"-- Adapted from Kirkus review.
