| Summary | "Plague" by Thomas Wright Jackson is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the cause, extension, and control of plague, detailing its diagnosis, treatment, and implications for public health. Authored by a medical doctor with extensive experience in epidemiology, the text highlights the historical persistence of plague and offers an in-depth analysis of its outbreaks, particularly addressing recent events in urban environments. The opening of the book introduces the author’s motivations behind writing a new volume on a well-known disease, emphasizing the need for updated knowledge based on recent studies and personal observations during the plague epidemics in the Philippines. Jackson lays the groundwork by discussing the historical context of plague, including its ancient roots and modern outbreaks, underscoring the connection between the disease's causes and preventive measures. The introduction presents the author's qualifications, his involvement in combating the disease, and the significance of collaboration among public health officials to manage plague effectively.
