'Microbe Hunters' With A Modern Sensibility

Thank you to David Shaywitz for the thoughtful Forbes write-up of The Remedy

"Goetz’s easy familiarity with medicine suffuses the pages of The Remedy, a thoughtful, patient, ultimately fascinating account of the struggle of 19th century science, and society, to come to grips with the germ theory of illness, and develop new technologies to take on one of humanity’s oldest scourges, tuberculosis."
