An Unnatural History of Emerging Infections is a comprehensive look at how infectious disease models have shaped global health and the development of public health policies. The book argues that the traditional view of emerging infections as rare and isolated events is outdated. Instead, the authors contend that new infections are part of an ongoing dynamic of global health, and public health policies should be crafted accordingly. Throughout their exploration of the issue, the authors offer a detailed look at the history of emerging infections, the current structures for dealing with and managing them, and the possible implications of future trends. At its core, the book lays out the case for increased investment in public health measures as a key element in global health.
