This long and important book summarizes the results of nearly a decade and a half of collaboration between two of the world's best analysts of infectious diseases and alludes to related work by many others. The authors are Roy M. Anderson, FRS, of Imperial College, University of London, and Robert M. May, FRS and Foreign Member of the US National Academy of Sciences, of the University of Oxford.
