Recenzii
A welcome addition to the growing literature related to sex in American history....It is a major contribution to both medical and social history.
Brandt bases his case on a well-documented analysis of public policy concerning venereal diseases during the last one hundred years....No Magic Bullet deserves a broad audience.
Brandt has served up an analytical feast....No Magic Bullet may remain the definitive social history of [venereal disease] for many years to come.
A significant contribution to our understanding of public responses to STDs in the United States....Useful and timely.
An audacious examination of American attitudes toward sexually transmitted disease...A chilling reminder of a forgotten history.
An excellent short treatment of venereal disease in this country. It is clearly written and with the addition of the chapter on AIDS, most appropriate and updated.
A thoroughly researched...intriguing book...Brandt argues persuasively that many of the underlying attitudes of the Victorian period continue to hinder the control of venereal diseases.
A subtle and convincing book...[A]n eloquent chapter in the history of sex in America.
Well-researched, accurate, and clearly written...This historical perspective has much to offer readers in the fields of public health and infectious disease at a time when important policy decisions regarding the control of AIDS must be made.
A major contribution to the social history of medicine and public policy in the United States.
An excellent overview of the venereal disease problem in America.
An important book for all who are concerned with epidemiological issues in general and a necessary book for those concerned with sexually transmitted diseases.
This book inspired the liveliest discussion we've had in the whold course.
A seminal work in both U.S. social history and the history of medicine. I intend to use it in this course [Bodies, Disease, and Politics in Modern Society] and in future courses.
I am using this book to help my students to understand the social and cultural backgrounds of health movements in historical perspective.
