Alfred Crosby almost alone redirected the attention of historians to ecological issues that were important precisely because they were global. By focusing on human universals like death and disease, his studies highlight the epidemic rather than the epiphenomenal.
Alfred W. Crosby is professor of American studies at the University of Texas, Austin. He was educated at Harvard and Boston universities. Professor Crosby specializes in environmental and ecological history and in historical epidemiology. Among his many publications are the books America's Forgotten Pandemic: The Influenza of 1918 (1989); Ecological Imperialism: The Biological Expansion of Europe, 900- 1900 (1986); and The Columbian Exchange: Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492 (1972).
