The Gospel of Germs by Nancy Tomes

The work looks at the history and culture of a long-standing obsession with germs, and its relevance to our own lives.Nancy Tomes is a history professor at Stony Brook University and the author of The Art of Asylum-Keeping: Thomas Story Kirkbride and the Beginnings of American Psychiatry.
