Beschreibung

Named as Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2012 From Hippocrates to Lillian Wald--the stories of scientists whose work changed the way we think about and treat infection. * Describes the genesis of the germ theory of disease by a dozen seminal thinkers such as Jenner, Lister, and Ehrlich. * Presents the "inside stories" of these pioneers' struggles to have their work accepted, which can inform strategies for tackling current crises in infectious diseases and motivate and support today's scientists. * Relevant to anyone interested in microbiology, infectious disease, or how medical discoveries shape our modern understanding

Rezensionen

(Media Watch, 1 February 2012)
"With these stories, Gaynes provides a brief, illuminating, and sometimes inspiring account of germ theory."

"With these stories, Gaynes provides a brief, illuminating, and sometimes inspiring account of germ theory."
(Microbe Magazine, 02 August 2013)
"The appeal of this biographical approach is easy to understand. It permits the reader, and the author as well, to focus on a series of famous individuals rather than on the more complex dynamics of a research or professional community."
(The Quarterly Review of Biology, 14 July 2013)
"In this volume, the author recounts the circuitous paths by which germs have become recognized as pervasive causes of disease, and the effects of this enlightenment on human health."
(Key Reporter, 23 June 2013)
"Robert P. Gaynes succeeds in depicting in large brushes the history of infectious diseases, placed into the context of concepts and ideas as they evolved from the time of Hippocrates in ancient Greece 2,500 years ago to the present. He does so by presenting lively biographies of twelve pioneers selected for changing the prevailing view of the time and for contributing major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of infectious diseases... This is a fascinating book that will captivate anyone with an interest in microbiology, infectious disease, and medical history."
(Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 23 June 2013)
"This is a well-written--even intriguing--historical chronicle of medical advances and microbial understanding... Gayes has crafted a book which I certainly will find myself reading again and again. It is a book in which anyone, from medical professionals to introductory microbiology students, will discover 'new' scientific and medical intrigue. This book is highly recommended for any educator or student of microbiology, public health or medicine. Educators at the high school, undergraduate, graduate, and medical school levels will benefit from reading Germ Theory. It is similarly well-suited for microbiology, biology, and medical students at these same levels. Find a copy soon. You will have your eyes opened, and be glad you did."
(CHOICE, 04 December 2012)
"Gaynes (Emory Univ. School of Medicine) presents a well-researched, inspiring narrative of the most important discoveries in the history of medical science. He weaves the origins of the germ theory of disease and the biographies of those who made significant discoveries together into intriguing, informative stories."
