Description

The Four Horsemen War, Pestilence, Famine and Death and the Hope of a New Age by Emily Mayhew. In this thought-provoking study, historian Emily Mayhew explores how advances in science, technology and humanitarianism are helping us to combat the four horsemen of the apocalypse. From the search for new antimicrobial medicines to innovations in preventing the spread of deadly viruses, Mayhew highlights the work of unsung heroes who are creating solutions to life and death problems. These individuals - doctors, scientists, statisticians, engineers, peace negotiators, pharmacists, historians, forensic scientists, vaccinators and volunteers - form an extraordinary alliance that stands in the way of the horsemen. By examining their stories, Mayhew shows us a more hopeful future for humanity.
