Offers an introduction to the modeling of infectious diseases in humans and animals. This book moves from modeling with simple differential equations to more complex models, where spatial structure, seasonal 'forcing', or stochasticity influence the dynamics, and where computer simulation needs to be used to generate theory.

Presents the history of Anglophone political science which argues that the field's transformation shouldn't be mistaken for a case of simple progress and increasing scientific precision. This book shows that political science is deeply historically contingent, driven both by its own inherited ideas and by the history in which it has developed.
