Reviews
"Very interesting.... A well written book that should be of interest tothe educated layperson as well as the evolutionary researcher and the medicalprofession. Ewald presents a great deal of grist to chew on providing a lot ofdocumented research on some of his theories and observations. There is a 70-pagelist of references that would keep any skeptic busy in looking up historicalinformation. For the AIDS researcher, looking into the evolutionary route of thedisease should not be overlooked.... Recommended for public, academic, andmedical libraries." --Aids Book Review Journal, "Dr. Ewald introduces an evolutionary approach to viewing pathogens in thebook.... This analysis provides a synthesis of principles from health science,epidemology and evolutionary biology, yet the text is still comprehensible to ageneral audience." Zara Herskovits, Yale Scientific, "Many ideas in the book broaden the application of evolution to health care and the manifestation of disease. This milestone approach to disease may provide a new dimension in controlling virtually all diseases. High readability, up-to-date references, and a thorough discussion of infectiousdiseases make this an important work for health-care professionals interested in evolutionary biology."--Choice, "Ewald's use and command of the historical literature on infectious diseases is without parallel among evolutionary biologists...The text is...very readable and the treatment not at all technical....These attributes are a considerable virtue. The book should draw the large audience the subjectdeserves....The questions raised by Ewald and his premise about the potential utility of evolutionary biology are, we believe, right on. We hope his lead will be followed by others."--Science, "Dr. Ewald introduces an evolutionary approach to viewing pathogens in the book.... This analysis provides a synthesis of principles from health science, epidemiology and evolutionary biology, yet the text is still comprehensible to a general audience."--Yale Scientific, "Important...The arguments in this book are well supported by data. The references are germane, including classical articles and current literature. The book is well written and deserves the attention of biologists, health scientists, and enlightened planners."--The Quarterly Review ofBiology, "Many ideas in the book broaden the application of evolution to healthcare and the manifestation of disease. This milestone approach to disease mayprovide a new dimension in controlling virtually all diseases. High readability,up-to-date references, and a thorough discussion of infectious diseases makethis an important work for health-care professionals interested in evolutionarybiology." --Choice, From reviews of the hardback: 'I have not picked up a book on infectious disease with so much anticipation as Paul Ewald's Evolution of Infectious Disease I was not disappointed: Ewald's book is as teeming with ideas as some of us are with microbes. Evolution of Infectious Disease is a challenging and readable introduction to current thinking on the topic.' Nature '... this is a scholarly work, well-referenced, and up-to-date. Ewald has succeeded in producing an interesting and thought-provoking book.' The Lancet, "This book has much to offer in the way of biological information....Ewald places major emphasis on the evolution of drug-resistant strains of the disease....especially useful to students of medical geography."--Professional Geographer, "Of interest to professionals in health science, epidemiology, and evolutionary biology, but also accessible to general readers."--SciTech Book News, "Ewald's use and command of the historical literature on infectiousdiseases is without parallel among evolutionary biologists.... The subject ofthis treatise is or should be of great general interest. The text is...veryreadable and the treatment not at all technical.... These attributes are aconsiderable virtue. The book should draw the large audience the subjectdeserves.... The questions raised by Ewald and his premise about the potentialutility of evolutionary biology are, we believe, right on. We hope his lead willbe followed by others." --Science, "[An] important book.... The arguments in this book are well supported bydata. The references are germane, including classical articles and currentliterature. The book is well written and deserves the attention of biologists,health scientists, and enlightened planners." --The Quarterly Review ofBiology, "Ewald's use and command of the historical literature on infectious diseases is without parallel among evolutionary biologists.... The subject of this treatise is or should be of great general interest. The text is...very readable and the treatment not at all technical.... These attributes are a considerable virtue. The book should draw the large audience the subject deserves." -- Science, "Of interest to professionals in health science, epidemiology, andevolutionary biology, but also accessible to general readers." --SciTech BookNews, "HIV may not be a new and inherently deadly virus, as is commonly assumed,but an old one that has recently acquired deadly tendencies. In a forthcomingbook, Paul Ewald, an evolutionary biologist at Amherst College, argues that HIVmay have infected people benignly for decades, even centuries, before it startedcausing AIDS.... The idea may sound radical, but it's not just flashyspeculation. It reflects a growing awareness that parasites, like everythingelse in nature, evolve by natural selection." --Newsweek, "Ewald's use and command of the historical literature on infectious diseases is without parallel among evolutionary biologists.... The subject of this treatise is or should be of great general interest. The text is...very readable and the treatment not at all technical.... These attributes are a considerable virtue. The book should draw the large audience the subject deserves." --Science". . .Ewald's enthusiasm for his topic reaches out to the reader from every page. . . . Ewald's book will arouse considerable interest. The topic is important and is presented in a palatable form that will appeal to a wide readership."--Politics and the Life Sciences"Paul Ewald, an evolutionary biologist at Amherst College, argues that HIV may have infected people benignly for decades, even centuries, before it started causing AIDS....The idea may sound radical, but it's not just flashy speculation. It reflects a growing awareness that parasites, like everything else in nature, evolve by natural selection."--Newsweek"[Ewald] infects both students and colleagues with his enthusiasm."--U.S. News and World Report"Of interest to professionals in health science, epidemiology, and evolutionary biology, but also accessible to general readers."--SciTech Book News"Important...The arguments in this book are well supported by data.
