Description
All around us the alarms are going off, warning of the danger of new, deadly diseases. Tomes reminds us this is really nothing new. A remarkable work of medical and cultural history, this book returns to the first great “germ panic” in American history, which peaked in the early 1900s, to explore the origins of our modern disease consciousness.
