Each volume in this series contrasts the 1918 flu pandemic with the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. In this way, the series supports the social studies standard time, continuity, and change. In addition to the then and now contrasts, each volume also studies cultural changes, the impact of media, global and local efforts to combat pandemics, and more. A strength of the series is the many historical photographs and documents included…. An informative series that will appeal to history buffs and be useful in social studies inquiries.
