pickThomas Hager is a gifted narrator. He builds up the story, mixing it up with interesting bits of history and science. The book captures major milestones in understanding the disease and developing drugs for it. With so much happening during the 1940‘s, it‘s hard to just fill up the book with facts and miss the big picture. But the author does a good job in focusing on the main theme. I definitely recommend it.
This talks about the search to find a drug to combat bacterial #Contagion. It has a wonderful historical overview of the #LittlestThings that have caused major problems in history. I‘m going to recommend two other books about bacteria and drugs in the comments. All three are great #audiobooks, too. I highly recommend these books for pharm/science/history nerds!

Ran out of space on my review. Great book that would meet quite a few squares but I'm using it for #somethingwithlawormedicine
Examines the impact of factory farming and overuse of antibiotics via the chicken industry.

pickDeep dive into the impact of industrialized meat system via the chicken. Early in the 20th century chicken was rarely eaten usually on Sunday and only sold whole, hard to believe when you consider all the different ways it's sold today and it's soon to be the most eaten meat in the world. This looks at the history and the use and impact of antibiotic overuse in production and how it's creating resistant bacteria that is a massive health issue.
pickFascinating look into the development of the first antibiotics, with scenes from WWI battlefields, Nazi experiments, Nobel ceremonies, and lots of moments over microscopes. Surprise appearance by the early FDA, explaining how they started drug testing protocols. Must enjoy science and medicine, although it‘s written in layman‘s language. I loved it!

Our grandson is a chemistry undergrad, hoping to develop new drugs when he completes his schooling. He‘s contemplating getting his MD as well. I‘m definitely recommending this book to him for summer reading. It‘s fascinating!

Just got these in the mail. My two favorite subjects: fashion and Microbiology!
#TBRtemptation post 6! #BEA17 edition! Expected to be released September 12th. Health journalist & Nat Geo contributor, McKenna, documents how antibiotics transformed chicken from local delicacy to industrial commodity, uncovering ways to make our meat safer. She shows the process from the farm to the dinner table. It might sound dull and tedious, but this investigation provides major insights into Big Ag and Big Food. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
