"As both an urban/environmental sociologist and resident of Toronto during the 2003 SARS crisis, I have the highest praise for Networked Disease.

This cutting edge material should seriously engage academics, students, and practitioners in social geography, urban studies, public health, and environmental sociology."
–John Hannigan, University of Toronto
