It is particularly recommended reading for its wide-ranging, inclusive approach that middle-schoolers will find absorbing and informational.</p><p>Carole Marsh blends science and history in a survey that reviews pandemics of the past, contrasting their environments, progression, and social and medical approaches to tackling their spread. Kids receive definitions of diseases, information about germs and their transmission, and chapters that contrast plagues of the past with Covid-19's recent challenges.</p><p>In contrast with other approaches for this age group, Carole Marsh adds observations and notes designed to personalize and bring to life the social issues underlying pandemics and epidemics: "Long ago, people spent a lot of time arguing about what, or who, caused a disease. Blaming others did not help anything. Leaders have been weak and ineffective in past plagues, and today we see politics often seeming to be more important that scientific facts. That does not help either. As I did my research, I was very dismayed to see that some people in the past (even in America during the Spanish Flu epidemic) actually lied about the disease, the facts, the numbers of infected and dead. So, it is sad for me to have to say that adults do not always act very responsibly during a time when speed, smarts, wisdom, good decisions and more are VERY IMPORTANT in any disease outbreak. It is life or death, after all."</em></p><p>From therapies and medical approaches to notes about pets, infected people, transmission, and safety, Outbreaks, Epidemics, & Pandemics</em> embraces a range of issues and concerns, from social environments to heroes, helpers, and career opportunities for jobs that battle disease.</p><p>Its broader scope than most, chatty tone, and fact-filled pages make <em>Outbreaks, Epidemics, & Pandemics</em> a multifaceted read that goes above and beyond more singular productions for this age group, making for a top recommendation for elementary and middle school collections alike.-</strong>D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review</strong></p>Loved it! <p>Outbreaks, Epidemics, and Pandemics: Including the Worldwide COVID -19 Pandemic </em>by Carole Marsh is a short book for kids 9 years and older.
