Reviews
We are fortunate, indeed, that for so long Rob Wallace has been preparing, plunging into subjects as varied as ecology and political economy, so that he can articulate the scope of COVID-19. Read this book as if your life depended on it, because it does. , In his brilliance and in the extraordinary depth, range, and courage of his thinking, Rob Wallace is unique. Dead Epidemiologists makes sense of the COVID-19 pandemic like no other work I've encountered anywhere. This is radical thinking in the very best sense. Written in perfect, pissed-off, punk-rock eloquence and fury., The breadth and depth of issues considered with authority and perspicacity in the new collection of essays makes this book essential reading. Dead Epidemiologists sets the context for understanding how neoliberal capitalism is threatening the annihilation of billions of people., Crafting in real time a political-economic ecology of pandemics in the age of climate change and agribusiness. - Edgar Rivera Colon, coauthor, Principles and Practice of Narrative Medicine This is a book of truth, that kind that sets us free by cutting through the bindings of lies and ignorance. In this moment of cascading crises, it is necessary to find the truth, which is never whats on the surface. We are fortunate, indeed, that Rob Wallace has been preparing for now, plunging into subjects as varied as ecology and political economy so that he can articulate the scope of our problems. That he can see the truth is amazing. That he can write about it with grace and humor eases the shock of seeing the real through the haze of our false consciousness. Read this book as if your life depended on it, because it does. - Mindy Thompson Fullilove, author, Main Street: How a Citys Heart Connects Us All Name one other epidemiologist who knows his N.K. Jemisin as well as his Gramsci and Arrighi, who understands the broad colonial relations of corporate capitalism as well as the detailed "epizoological perversities" of the factory farm-and who can write about it all with such perfect, pissed-off, punk-rock eloquence and fury. In his brilliance and in the extraordinary depth, range, and courage of his thinking, Rob Wallace is unique. From the plantation-era roots of the contemporary horseshoe-crab-blood-mining industry-yeah, you read that right-to the reproductive cycle of the Chinese horseshoe bat, Dead Epidemiologists makes sense of the COVID-19 pandemic like no other work Ive encountered anywhere, as a disease that exists in and arose out of the globalized dystopia in which we already live. This is radical thinking in the very best sense: Wallace is unwilling to accept the rigged and homicidal terms of the world weve been given. He insists on no less than the birthing of a new one, or better yet, a return, in solidarity, humility, and love, to the planet that we already have. - Ben Ehrenreich, author, Desert Notebooks: A Road Map for the End of Time, Crafting in real time a political-economic ecology of pandemics in the age of climate change and agribusiness.

Synopsis
A history of COVID-19 and the sociopolitical conditions that led to the 2020 global pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic shocked the world. It shouldn't have. Since this century's turn, epidemiologists have warned of new infectious diseases. Indeed, H1N1, H7N9, SARS, MERS, Ebola Makona, Zika, and a variety of lesser viruses have emerged almost annually. But what of the epidemiologists themselves? Some bravely descended into the caves where bat species hosted coronaviruses, including the strains that evolved into the COVID-19 virus. Yet, despite their own warnings, many of the researchers appear unable to understand the true nature of the disease-as if they are dead to what they've seen. Dead Epidemiologists is an eclectic collection of commentaries, articles, and interviews revealing the hidden-in-plain-sight truth behind the pandemic: Global capital drove the deforestation and development that exposed us to new pathogens. Rob Wallace and his colleagues-ecologists, geographers, activists, and, yes, epidemiologists-unpack the material and conceptual origins of COVID-19. From deepest Yunnan to the boardrooms of New York City, this book offers a compelling diagnosis of the roots of COVID-19, and a stark prognosis of what-without further intervention-may come., In this collection of essays and interviews, evolutionary epidemiologist Rob Wallace and colleagues investigate the material and conceptual origins of COVID-19. From the caves of China to the boardrooms of New York City, Wallace and company track the pandemic as it emerged out of global circuits of capital and the peculiar scientific thinking that has long supported such a system.
