The golden age of blogging is long past but I am not yet ready to shut down my blog. Admittedly, I post much less frequently given the ease and impact of Twitter. This blog nevertheless serves as an extension of my personality and interests.
Books are hugely important to me.
Until Proven Safe- on the history and future of quarantine is well worth the read. This is not an academic tome but rather a compelling narrative of quarantine, from a medical, social and political perspective, starting in the renaissance to the modern era, including agriculture, radioactive waste and even space travel.
The better we understand quarantine, the more selectively and precisely we can apply it in the name of safety and with the goal of minimizing collateral damage.
Kudos to the authors on a well researched and even better written book.
