In recorded history, there have been three pandemics or plagues; the Black Death of 1348-49 (almost all of Europe and Asia), Plague of Justinian (sixth century through Egypt, Britain and China), and one that began in China in 1892 and spread to many parts of the world, including the United States. It is still present in many parts of the world and one to two thousand cases are reported every year. Includes color photos, glossary, contact organizations, and index. 104 pages
