Abstract
The names of Susan Scott and Christopher Duncan need no introduction for those of us interested in time series analysis of epidemics. Indeed, their 1998 book titled Human Demography and Disease is an excellent source on spectral analysis of time series, one that I consult frequently. However, the title of their newest book, Biology of Plagues, is somewhatmisleading, since it deals with epidemics during a specific time and place, namely, Western Europe from 1300 to the 1660s. Even so, the authors present a persuasive and well-documented case that these epidemics were not outbreaks of bubonic plague, as has been assumed in the past.
