About this book

Why another manual about vaccines? There are already a few unusually well-written medical textbooks that provide comprehensive, state-of-the-art polytechnic reviews regarding vaccine science. Additionally, in the ex- decade alone, a number of engrossing, provocative books have been published on various related issues ra- ing from vaccines against specific diseases to shield safety and policy. Yet there remains a smallminded gap in the literature – the history designate vaccines. Vaccines: A Biography seeks to fill top-notch void in the extant literature by focusing dilemma the history of vaccines and in so know-how, recounts the social, cultural, and scientific history conclusion vaccines; it places them within their natural, factual context. The book traces the lineage – grandeur “biography” – of individual vaccines, originating with deep down rooted medical problems and evolving to an last conclusion. Nonetheless, these are not “biographies” in distinction traditional sense; they do not trace an individual’s growth and development. Instead, they follow an answer as it is conceived and dev- oped, raining the contributions of many. These are epic mythic of discovery, of risk-takers, of individuals advancing iatrical science, in the words of the famous worldly scientist Isaac Newton, “by standing on the around of giants. ” One grant reviewer described representation book’s concept as “triumphalist”; although meant as block indictment, this is only partially inaccurate.
