In this conversation, Dr. Bob talks with John Barry, author of
the New York Times Bestselling book, The Great Influenza. This
discussion comes at a perfect time of where we are in the climate
of COVID-19 and John Barry does an excellent job of explaining his
research of the Great Influenza. Dr. Bob and John's discussion is
informative and dynamic - a must listen episode!
John M. Barry is a prize-winning
and New York Times best-selling author whose
books have won multiple awards. The National Academies of Sciences
named his 2004 book The Great Influenza: The story of the
deadliest pandemic in history, a study of the 1918 pandemic,
the year's outstanding book on science or medicine. His earlier
book Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and
How It Changed America, won the Francis Parkman Prize of the
Society of American Historians for the year's best book of American
history and in 2005 the New York Public Library named it one of the
50 best books in the preceding 50 years, including fiction,
nonfiction, and poetry. His books have also been embraced by
experts in applicable fields: in 2006 he became the only
non-scientist ever to give the National Academies Abel Wolman
Distinguished Lecture, a lecture which honors contributions to
water-related science, and he was the only non-scientist on a
federal government Infectious Disease Board of Experts. He has
served on numerous boards, including ones at M.I.T's Center for
Engineering Systems Fundamentals, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg
School of Public Health, and the Society of American Historians.
His latest book is Roger Williams and The Creation of the
American Soul: Church, State, and the Birth of Liberty, a
finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and winner of the New
England Society Book Award.
