A captivating look at yellow fever
|
| This book is as infectious as the disease it describes. I was drawn in from the very first page, and remained captivated until the very last. Crosby presents the details of the Memphis epidemic in stunning, vivid and gruesome detail. She describes the biology and pathogenesis of Yellow Fever in bold, accurate, and easily understandable terms. However, the book's crowning achievement is its description of the work of the Yellow Fever Commission in Cuba, and the experiments that lead to the discovery of the Aedes mosquito as the vector. If you love the history of medicine, then you'll love this book. |
