Recensioner i media
"Overall, Worboys's monograph is a challenging and extremely readable medical history of germs. It will be essential reading for students taking history of medicine programs." William H. Brock, Isis
"...the book reveals - and re-defines - a fascinating international picture of evolving germ theories involving complex interactions between scientific theoreticians and medical and veterinary practitioners...I would recommend this as essential reading for anyone with an interest in the history of biomedical science and public health." Nursing History Review
"In Spreading Germs, Worboys deepens and clarifies our understanding of biomedical science, both on its own terms and in its larger sociopolitical context." Perspectives in Biology and Medicine
"...a competent, scholarly presentation of its subject..." Albion
"Worboys has provided a significant piece of scholarship as he considers the relationship between changing disease theory and medical practice. It is a great addition to the history of medicine, and could well be instuctive to historians of any field." Journal of World History
