Autor Thomas M. Daniel
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 dec 2000
Throughout history, tuberculosis has been at or near the top of the list of infectious diseases that have plagued humankind. This pervasive disease has had a central position not only in causing illness but also in challenging medical scientists to understand it -- and, in so doing, to further understand all of human health and illness. Pioneers in Medicine and Their Impact on Tuberculosis tells the stories of six of these individuals: Rene Theophile Hyacinthe Laennec pathology], Heinrich Hermann Robert Koch bacteriology], Hermann Michael Biggs public health], Clemens von Pirquet immunology], Wade Hampton Frost epidemiology], and Selman Abraham Waksman antibiotics]. Itexamines not only their contributions in their own fields but also their special work in conquering tuberculosis. Presenting their fascinating lives and the seminal work they did in their disciplines, the author examines the importance of their discoveries and relates them to the dramatic expansion of medical science during the era in which they lived.
