| Summary | "The Flu: a brief history of influenza in U.S. America, Europe, Hawaii" by Mouritz is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This informative work delves into the historical context and impact of influenza pandemics and epidemics, particularly focusing on occurrences in the United States, Europe, and Hawaii. The author aims to provide readers—both students and laypeople—with a clear understanding of influenza's progression, causes, and significance throughout history. In "The Flu," Mouritz examines various influenza outbreaks from ancient times to the early 20th century, detailing the specific epidemics that afflicted different regions. The book discusses the emergence of the influenza bacillus, its modes of transmission, and the various names attributed to the disease over the centuries. Throughout, Mouritz highlights the responses of the medical community, shifting understandings of the disease, and notable historical figures involved in influenza research. As a comprehensive account, the text serves as both a historical record and an educational resource on the continuing influence of influenza on public health and society.
