Description
Plague-Busters! Medicine's Battles with History's Deadliest Diseases
From the history of medicine, a fascinating and sometimes gruesome story of diseases that have shaped human history. Lindsey Fitzharris explores the story of six of the world's deadliest diseases, including bubonic plague, smallpox, and tuberculosis, revealing the scary symptoms, kooky cures, and brilliant breakthroughs that they spawned.
With the help of Adrian Teal's cartoons and caricatures, this book brings to life the people and events that have helped to combat these diseases, from the medieval doctors who first identified the causes of the Black Death to the scientists who developed vaccines for smallpox.
