The Discovery of the Germ by John Waller
A gripping insight into twenty years that profoundly changed the way we view disease. The germ revolution came after two decades of scientific virtuosity, outstanding feats of intellectual courage and bitter personal rivalries, doctors at last recognised that infectious diseases are caused by mircoscopic organisms.
John Waller read Modern History at Oxford University and took Masters degrees in Human Biology and the History of Science and Medicine. He gained his Ph.D. from University College London in 2002 and is now a Research Fellow at UCL's Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine. He is the author of Fabulous Science: Fact and Fiction in the History of Scientific Discovery (2002).
