Toronto: University of Toronto Press, Date: 2003. Hardcover. Very good/very good. Hardcover. 9 1/4" X 6 1/4". xvi, 297pp. Very mild shelf wear to covers, corners, and edges of unclipped dust jacket. Barcode stick to rear of dust jacket. Black cloth over boards with spine lettered in silver. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is tight and sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: In 1918, medical science was at a loss to explain the Spanish flu epidemic, which swept the world in three great waves and killed an estimated 20 to 40 million people in just one year, more than the number that died during the four years of World War I. Today, while the Spanish flu has faded in the public's memory, most virologists are convinced that sooner or later a similarly deadly flu virus will return with a vengeance. Responding to this sustained interest in the Spanish flu, Kirsty Duncan in Hunting the 1918 Flu presents a detailed account of her experiences as she organized a multi-national, multi-discipline scientific expedition to exhume the bodies of a group of Norwegian miners, buried in Svalbard, all of whom died from the Spanish flu virus. Duncan weaves a twofold narrative: first, the story of a large-scale medical project with the objective of uncovering genetic material from the Spanish flu and second, a first-hand account of the turbulent politics that emerged as the group moved towards a goal where the egos were as strong as the stakes were high. Duncan, herself not an epidemiologist but a ...

ISBN10: 0802087485, ISBN13: 9780802087485, [publisher: University of Toronto Press, Toronto, Ontario, Canada] Hardcover 297 pp. with index, bibliography and B/W illustrations. "After two years of searching for bodies of victims of the Spanish influenza and sleeping sickness that might exist in frozen Alaska, Russia, and Norway, and after extensive correspondence with archaeologists, historians, funeral directors, government officials, and the Lutheran church, I found on Spitsbergen Island the resting place of seven miners, who had all died of Spanskesyken, or Spanish flu, and were buried in permafrost. the frozen ground, I hoped, would have preserved the bodies along with the micro-organism that killed the victims. The miners' graves were marked and had been undisturbed for almost eight decades in Spitsbergen ISland, in the province and archipelago of Svalbard, Norway. Small tissue samples from the miners might - despite my own reluctance to disturb the graves - yield fragments of the Spanish influenza virus. The miners might provide the answers to the 1918 pandemic." - the preface [Winnipeg, MB, Canada] [Publication Year: 2003]
