The Blue Death has been recommended by the Los Angeles Times,the Denver Post, Science News, Booklist,and Kirkus. With compelling narratives both historical and recent, Dr. Robert Morris examines the infrastructure of our drinking water supply and calls for widespread action to preserve this most precious of natural resources.
“The Blue Death chronicles the story of drinking water in terms of compelling accounts of early cholera epidemics, how scientists solved the mystery of the microbes in water, and the economic and political forces at play both then and now in controlling our water,” observes Computer Science Professor Joan Francioni. “It provides science in the form of a fast-moving narrative by giving a fascinating history of water-borne diseases and mankind’s quest for safe drinking water.”
