Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-19 00:00:00 Editha Quirino A long and detailed account of the 14th-century pandemic. The author tries (in the second half of the book) to reach some statistical conclusions, which exceed the consensus figures (he estimates that over a half of Europe's population died during the pandemic). He also makes a confident case for the plague being the accelerator of social change.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-07-03 00:00:00 Joseph Summerlin Si quieres estudiar la peste negra no puedes dejar de recurrir a este libro porque es el más completo que hay. Se centra mucho en la transmisión de la enfermedad y el cúmulo de circunstancias que se dan para que afecte a los humanos. También explica la dimensión social e histórica en la que transcurre la epidemia y cuenta el desarrollo de los avances científicos que llevaron a que podamos entender la epidemia hoy en día. Imprescindible si te interesa el tema.
