Book Reviews of Typhoid Mary: Captive to the Public's Health
Book Review: A COMMUNITY HEALTH PROBLEM IN THE PREANTIBIOTIC ERA
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this book very interesting and the multiple aspects of the story are perfectly analyzed by the author. Is a good example of the social implications of a infectious disease and has strong relations with the present AIDS era we are living in. A lot of very important lessons can be learned to understand the present times. Very recomendable.
