Plagues (Natural Disasters (Gareth Stevens))

Boils. Leprosy. Locusts. Just thinking of the word "plagues" conjures up many images, most of them unpleasant. But plagues aren't found only in Biblical times, they exist today, in such places as Africa, Australia, & many others. In Plagues, young readers will discover the history of plagues, from the time of Moses to the bubonic plague that devastated Europe on the 14th century. A word of warning: Plagues is so full of valuable & interesting information, you'll want to share it with everyone. In fact, we'd say it's contagious!Janet Perry is the author of 'Plagues (Natural Disasters (Gareth Stevens))', published 2001 under ISBN 9780836828351 and ISBN 0836828356.
