New Guinea Tapeworms and Jewish Grandmothers by Robert S Desowitz
The medical tapestry of the world is full of organisms too small to see, carried by flying and creeping creatures too numerous to eradicate.
"DrDesowitz tells many wise and important things about the health problems of the Third World . . . and of our own world. Fortunately, he presents his views in the form of highly entertaining stories that reveal how the life complexities of the microbial agents of disease are more than matched by the oddities of human behavior." -- Rene Dubos
Robert S. Desowitz (1926—2008) was a leading epidemiologist and the author of New Guinea Tape Worms and Jewish Grandmothers and The Malaria Capers, among other books.
