520    "Throughout history, mankind's working theories regarding 
       the cause of infectious disease have shifted drastically, 
       as cultures developed their philosophic, religious, and 
       scientific beliefs. Plagues that were originally 
       attributed to the wrath of the gods were later described 
       as having nothing to do with them, though the cause 
       continued to be a mystery. As centuries passed, medical 
       and religious theorists proposed reasons such as poor air 
       quality or the configuration of the planets as causes for 
       the spread of disease. In every instance, in order to 
       understand the origin of a disease theory during a 
       specific period of history, one must understand that 
       culture's metaphysical beliefs."--Page 2 of cover.
