Epidemiology Old and New provides a comprehensive examination of the science of epidemiology, tracing its evolution from classical observations to the scientific methodologies of the early 20th century. Written by the distinguished physician and epidemiologist Sir William Hamer, the work explores the fundamental principles governing the spread of infectious diseases and the historical development of public health strategies.

The book delves into the nature of epidemic cycles, investigating how various diseases manifest within populations over time. Hamer synthesizes historical data with contemporary medical insights to offer a holistic view of contagion, addressing the complexities of environmental factors, host immunity, and the rhythmic patterns of outbreaks. As a significant contribution to medical literature, Epidemiology Old and New serves as an essential resource for understanding the foundations of modern preventive medicine and the intellectual history of disease control. This text remains a vital reference for scholars of medical history and public health professionals interested in the longitudinal study of human illness.
