Interesting nonfiction read about malaria; not only about the history of malaria & its implications but for how she outlines the failures & missteps of global health programmes ruled by capital.

readordierachel Sounds fascinating! My kind of nonfiction. 4y
batsy @readordierachel She writes in a fast-paced, accessible manner which really helps with the more sciencey stuff, for me—there's where I tend to space out 😆 4y
