Book Description
The main theme and objective of this book is the evolution of the Irish attitude towards Poland and the Poles during the first half of the nineteenth century. The book explores advanced Irish-Polish relations, emphasising the place of the Polish Question in the process of shaping modern Irish nationalism, and how from a distant, nearly exotic, country before the end of the eighteenth century, Poland became a source of parallels for the Irish nationalists. Using statistical and geographical analyses, the book goes on to show how the Polish revolution led to the ultimate foundation of the Irish-Polish advanced relations and the role of Poland in the process of shaping modern Irish nationalism.
Author Bio
I'm Adam Kucharski. I am an Associate Professor and Sir Henry Dale Fellow at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, where I work on mathematical analysis of infectious disease oubreaks.
I also write about science, and my articles have appeared in places like Wired, Financial Times, Scientific American, The Times and The Observer. My new book is The Rules of Contagion.
My research focuses on the dynamics of infectious diseases. In particular, I am interested in how social behaviour and immunity shape disease transmission, and how knowledge of such processes can enhance control measures. This work is funded by a Wellcome Trust/Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellowship.
From 2013–17, I held a Medical Research Council Career Development Award in Biostatistics. Prior to joining the School in October 2013, I was a postdoc at Imperial College London. I have a degree in mathematics from the University of Warwick (2009) and a PhD in applied mathematics from the University of Cambridge (2012).
