Synopsis "Plague-Busters! Medicine's Battles With History's Deadliest Diseases "

Smallpox! Rabies! Black Death! Throughout history humankind has been plagued by . . . well, by plagues. The symptoms of these diseases were gruesome-but the remedies were even worse. Get to know the ickiest illnesses that have infected humans and affected civilizations through the ages. Each chapter explores the story of a disease, including the scary symptoms, kooky cures, and brilliant breakthroughs that it spawned. Medical historian and bestselling author Lindsey Fitzharris lays out the facts with her trademark wit, and Adrian Teal adds humor with cartoons and caricatures drawn in pitch black and blood red. Diseases covered in this book include bubonic plague, smallpox, rabies, tuberculosis, cholera, and scurvy. Thanks to centuries of sickness and a host of history's most determined plague-busters, this riveting book features everything you've ever wanted to know about the world's deadliest diseases.

Lindsey Fitzharris es una historiadora médica, escritora y presentadora de televisión estadounidense, nacida en 1982. Se especializa en la historia de la medicina y la cirugía, con un enfoque particular en los avances médicos del siglo XIX y principios del XX.

Obtuvo su doctorado en Historia de la Ciencia, Medicina y Tecnología por la Universidad de Oxford en 2009.
