Environmental History and World History
Patrick Manning, in his book Navigating World History , suggests that world history “has the potential to become a scholarly nexus linking many fields of study” that will enable historians to escape the “national paradigm that continues to constrain most studies in humanities and social sciences.” This article will test Manning’s proposal in the developing field of environmental history by examining the topics of panels and papers selected for th…

Legionnaires’ Disease
The emergent or newly reemerging disease model often relies on poverty as a contributing factor in the transmission of infectious diseases. But as Andrew Price-Smith has argued, affluence can also be a factor in the enhanced transmission of infection. Legionnaires’ disease, first identified in 1976 as the cause of a novel disease outbreak in Philadelphia, fits the model of such a disease of affluence. The Legionella bacteria readily finds niches …

Nancy K. Bristow, American Pandemic
Since the republication of Alfred Crosby's landmark work on Spanish Flu in 1989, and the recovery of fragments of the causative virus in 1997, there has been a tsunami of scholarly and popular works examining the cataclysmic Spanish Flu.1 Nancy Bristow, Professor of History at Puget Sound University in Tacoma, Washington, seeks to carve out a space for her own work in this expanding canon by both ‘piec[ing] together fragmentary sources to hear vo…
WHO Knows Best? National and International Responses to Pandemic Threats and the "Lessons" of 1976
The discovery of a novel influenza strain at Fort Dix, New Jersey, in 1976-dubbed Swine Flu-prompted differing responses from national and international health organizations. The United States crafted a vaccination campaign to inoculate every citizen; conversely, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended a 'wait and see' policy. An examination of the WHO conference that issued the influenza policy reveals the decision was driven by the limi…
Flu
The interaction of humans and epidemic diseases is as old as the human story and the human population remains firmly linked with the natural world. In the twentieth century, influenza pandemics illustrate the impact of infectious diseases despite continuing efforts to safeguard the human population, and serve to illustrate the unintended effects of an interconnected world. The influenza virus – highly infectious and transmissible – is a disease t…
