Description
Foreign Bodies: The Terror of Contagion, the Ingenuity of Science
This gripping history explores how humanity has responded to outbreaks and epidemics throughout the past, from smallpox in 18th-century London to cholera in 19th-century Paris. Simon Schama weaves together stories of scientists, doctors, and ordinary people caught up in these crises.
Through his meticulous research, Schama sheds light on the lives of unsung heroes like Waldemar Haffkine, who made groundbreaking discoveries that saved countless lives.
