Murphy, Jim and Alison Blank Invincible Microbe: Tuberculosis
and the never-ending search for a cure, 122 p.
Scrofula, consumption, tuberculosis – since the beginning of
time, this disease has killed millions, if not billions and new mutations,
combined with poor living conditions, inadequate diets and insufficient health
care around the world mean that we will probably never be free of this
killer. First looking at it, I
thought that Murphy and Blank’s book was just too much for a student to relate
to – but found my self reading swiftly and easily and being fascinated by the
information. The authors have
plenty of illustrations and photographs and combine them with interesting first
person stories to bring their subject to life. Shame on me for doubting! Great new non-fiction to promote
reading for class, for personal enjoyment or for a Common Core related
assignement.
