I really like Plague Ports by Myron Echenberg. It's about the third plague pandemic in the 1890s-1901. It focuses on a different global city for each chapter, and talks a lot about medical inequalities and culture. My students really like it.

If you were forced to bet on which university courses of study still will be relevant in 50 years, languages, literature, history, philosophy, and arts are all pretty good wagers.
They have an excellent track record over the past thousand years or so.
Not the point of this fascinating article, but it remains darkly ironic to me that the Humanities have fallen backwards into being the safe financial bet of degrees
