商品簡介
A history of how modern ideas on the bacterial causes of communicable diseases were constructed and spread within the British medical profession in the last third of the 19th century. Worboys (cultural studies, Sheffield Hallam U.) considers the growth of bacteriology in relation to the evolution of medical practice as a whole in this pivotal period. He demonstrates that British germ theorists, while they incorporated many ideas and practices from the stronger institutions of medical science in France and Germany, also had their own research programs, discoveries, and innovations that helped transform many facets of medical practice.
