Walker, Richard. Epidemics and Plagues. Kingfisher Publications: 2006. ISBN-13: 978-0-7534-6035-1. Ages 10 and up.
Epidemics and Plagues tells about epidemics, diseases, plagues, and death causing sicknesses that have happened or are happening right now. It goes into detail on these things, such as describing the Black Death and how it affected Europe between 1347-1351. The author uses a very fluent and informative writing style to express to the reader about these medical problems. He includes many illustrations, such as maps, real-life photographs, and paintings to better help the reader understand the subject. I think this book was very informative, without going into too much detail, which is good for the age group in which it is directed toward. It had interesting pictures that helped give a visual of the information. Overall, I enjoyed reading this book.
