Lyme: The First Epidemic of Climate Change

byMary Beth Pfeiffer

Lyme disease is spreading rapidly around the globe as ticks move into places they could not survive before. Drawing on scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, the narrative gives Lyme a concrete sense of time, place, and consequence. Across the book, the first epidemic of climate change becomes a way to examine power, adaptation, responsibility, and change within health & fitness and medical. Lyme ultimately offers a nuanced guide to the evidence, the human stakes, and the consequences that make this subject worth revisiting.
