James F. Stark

The Making of Modern Anthrax, 1875-1920 (eBook, ePUB)

Uniting Local, National and Global Histories of Disease

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From the mid-nineteenth century onwards a number of previously unknown conditions were recorded in both animals and humans. Known by a variety of names, and found in diverse locations, by the end of the century these diseases were united under the banner of "anthrax." Stark offers a fresh perspective on the history of infectious disease. He examines anthrax in terms of local, national and global significance, and constructs a narrative that spans public, professional and geographic domains.
