The Cholera Years
Author: Charles E. Rosenberg
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226726762
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
Cholera was the classic epidemic disease of the nineteenth century, as the plague had been for the fourteenth. Its defeat was a reflection not only of progress in medical knowledge but of enduring changes in American social thought. Rosenberg has focused his study on New York City, the most highly developed center of this new society. Carefully documented, full of descriptive detail, yet written with an urgent sense of the drama of the epidemic years, this narrative is as absorbing for general audiences as it is for the medical historian. In a new Afterword, Rosenberg discusses changes in historical method and concerns since the original publication of The Cholera Years. "A major work of interpretation of medical and social thought . . . this volume is also to be commended for its skillful, absorbing presentation of the background and the effects of this dread disease."—I.B. Cohen, New York Times "The Cholera Years is a masterful analysis of the moral and social interest attached to epidemic disease, providing generally applicable insights into how the connections between social change, changes in knowledge and changes in technical practice may be conceived."—Steven Shapin, Times Literary Supplement "In a way that is all too rarely done, Rosenberg has skillfully interwoven medical, social, and intellectual history to show how medicine and society interacted and changed during the 19th century. The history of medicine here takes its rightful place in the tapestry of human history."—John B. Blake, Science

Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
Excerpt from A Treatise on Asiatic Cholera A chapter will also be found giving the history of the disease as observed in the United States Navy. The manuscript was kindly supplied by the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery of the U. S. Navy Department, and the editor takes this opportunity of extending his thanks to said Bureau. It seems unnecessary to indicate in detail the plan and scope of the book. The editor may, however, be permitted to call special attention to the valuable article on the prevention of cholera, from the pen of Dr. J. B. Hamilton, surgeon-general of the Marine Hos pital Service, and the equally important contribution of Dr. G. M. Sternberg, on the destruction of cholera germs.

Investigating Cholera in Broad Street: A History in Documents
Author: Peter Vinten-Johansen
Publisher: Broadview Press
ISBN: 1460406907
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
This book features various accounts of a cholera outbreak in West London that killed over 500 people in ten days during the late summer of 1854. What had caused the outbreak? Local authorities of the time were flummoxed about the mode by which the disease had spread. What has become known as “the Broad Street pump episode” is one of the most significant early examples of a team-oriented investigation into the causes of an epidemic—a hallmark of epidemiology and public health today. This collection includes documents from the five separate investigations that were conducted into the possible causes. John Snow and Henry Whitehead made independent investigations; inspectors from the General Board of Health and the Sewer Commission, as well as a parish inquiry committee, also scrutinized the outbreak. This volume traces competing notions of how this disease was transmitted, starting with the first pandemic, which reached England in 1831, and it documents how they developed over time.
