Matthew Smallman-Raynor and Andy Cliff's Atlas of Epidemic Britain is a beautiful book ... beautifully printed in full colour ... the atlas was awarded the British Medical Association Medical Book of the year award for 2013, a distinction that is well earned

This book would make a valuable addition to any medical practitioner's bookshelf.
*David J. M. Wright, The Lancet*

This book - which provides a century of change in Britain's history of epidemics - is truly one of a kind in scope and presentation. The authors Matthew Smallman-Raynor and Andrew Cliff have done extensive research to unearth facts on the history of diseases that plagued the British Isles in the 1901-2000 period. We applaud their valuable contributions to the growth of knowledge in this area, and urge readers to acquire this unique book.
