The first book to examine the global and comparative history of the discovery of tuberculosis, from 1900 to the present. Tuberculosis is one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases, killing nearly two million people every year - more now than at any other time in history. While the developed world has nearly forgotten about TB, it continues to wreak havoc across much of the globe. In this interdisciplinary study of global efforts to control TB, Christian McMillen examines the disease's remarkable staying power by offering a probing look at key locations, developments, ideas, and medical successes and failures since 1900. |
