How the World Turned into a Laboratory
This book provides a comprehensive history of the COVID-19 pandemic. At first glance, the pandemic struck as a natural disaster, with the sudden emergence of a virus as a major threat from outside. However, the pandemic has a history. SARS-COV-2 arrived in a world that was already very much focused on viruses, health, and longevity, and in which the fear of epidemics had already led to the mobilization of knowledge, technology, and a wide range of institutions to prepare us. The book develops the argument that these pre-existing structures and sensitivities have to a large extent determined the political and other reactions to the SARS-COV-2 virus and how the debates on the measures to halt its circulation have unfolded.

The World of Sugar
“[A] tour de force of global history...Bosma has turned the humble sugar crystal into a mighty prism for understanding aspects of global history and the world in which we live.”—Los Angeles Review of Books The definitive 2,500-year history of sugar and its human costs, from its little-known origins as a luxury good in Asia to worldwide environmental devastation and the obesity pandemic.

Searching for Flemish (Belgian) Ancestors
"The book begins with a very informative historical introduction. Readers will learn, for example, that (1) Belgium did not become an independent country until 1830; (2) the area that became Belgium had been a focal point of international power politics for hundreds of years; (3) the inhabitants of Flanders, the northern part of Belgium, constitute 60% of the population, while the remainder are French-speaking and, to a far lesser extent, German-speaking; (4) Flemish emigration to the U.S. began in earnest during the last quarter of the 19th century; and (5) today, there are about 350,000 Americans of Flemish descent, most of whom live in the upper Midwest (Michigan and Wisconsin)"--Publisher website (July 2007).
