This book is a history of the diseases of humankind and their causes from earliest times to the present day. It is a tour de force drawing upon the author's extensive work on the history of infection, as well upon evidence drawn from archaeology, history and demography. Both infectious and almost all non-communicable diseases are potentially eradicable. Just how they are and the significance of Professor McKeown's finding for health policies in developing countries, are the concluding themes of this controversial work.McKeown, Thomas is the author of 'Origins of Human Disease' with ISBN 9780631179382 and ISBN 0631179380.
