This a look at the impact of social diseases on society. Weisser discusses how rampant venereal diseases affected not only medical practices and societal attitudes towards disease, but also how even laws and fashion were shaped by them.
This is a bit more academic than popular non-fiction, but those willing to put a little effort into reading will gain a great deal of knowledge—and will most like come to the sad conclusion that while diseases change, people do not.
