wasn't sure my appetite for pandemic information would remain after the whole covid experience, but it does. Schama takes a tour through history ( Even Prehistory) and does a Jared Diamond light exploration of how mankind has been effected by viruses and bacteria . It is interesting and well paced, with bits of color and humor. It is sometimes heavy handed in it's condemnation of the ignorant behavior of the colonizers of old.
