Very Good softcover copy with light shelf wear, minor edge rubbing, and slight toning to page edges. Binding remains solid and square with clean, unmarked interior pages. Mild handling wear to wraps, including small bumps and faint surface rubbing, but overall a clean and attractive copy. 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. Carefully packed and shipped in a box. Shipped via USPS with tracking provided. International shipping available. Additional photographs available upon request. Please review photographs carefully, as they form part of the description. Returns accepted within the AbeBooks 30-day return window. SCI 1b.…
