Synopsis
"A tremendous book, the biography of a city which charts the multifarious pathways from bacilli to burgomaster." -Roy Porter, London Review of Books Why were nearly 10,000 people killed in six weeks in Hamburg, while most of Europe was left almost unscathed? As Richard J. Evans explains, it was largely because the town was a "free city" within Germany that was governed by the "English" ideals of laissez-faire. The absence of an effective public-health policy combined with ill-founded medical theories and the miserable living conditions of the poor to create a scene ripe for tragedy. The story of the "cholera years" is, in Richard Evans's hands, tragically revealing of the age's social inequalities and governmental pitilessness and incompetence; it also offers disquieting parallels with the world's public-health landscape today, including the current coronavirus crisis., Why were nearly 10,000 people killed in six weeks in Hamburg, while most of Europe was left almost unscathed?

It could have been wrapped better, with maybe some bubble wrap before it was just placed into a plastic envelope, because the end bent some due to shipping.From a Buick 8 by King, Stephen - Very Good (#156612370520)

As long as you don't care if the item arrives (or even ships) within the estimated time frame...or whether or not they reply to messages asking them why they haven't shipped yet, then this is a seller for you. They only engaged with a copy/paste message to say that they had a technical issue that delayed shipping...then made excuses about not replying to direct messages until after I opened issues on them due to being late.
