Reviews
Loretta Cormier's book on the 'ten-thousand year fever' is a major contribution to the subject. In sum, the book is well written, though of a bioarchaeological inclination, and there is an extensive bibliography. Prehistorians of the future will have to bravely tackle this kind of literature, as it will be a firm part of palaeoecological research. --Don Bothwell, Antiquity The Ten-Thousand Year Fever is an ambitious work that assimilates ideas from several specialties in defining the natural history of primate malaria. [T]his book raises many issues that are extremely relevant to the control of malaria, especially where primate populations converge with regions nearing elimination of the disease. By understanding the human-primate dynamics and ecological changes that lead to the emergence of hyper-endemic malaria, we are better placed to ensure the next 10,000 years are mostly malaria-free. --Alasdair Hill, Lancet
