Synopsis
Edward Jenner is a giant of modern medicine. Throughout history, smallpox plagued humanity as an incurable blight, the suffering of which Jenner helped bring to an end. Surmising from milkmaids' immunity that cowpox might defend against smallpox, in 1793 he inserted some of the matter from a human case of cowpox into a boy's arms. He subsequently inoculated the boy with smallpox itself, and found him to be immune. In 1979 smallpox was declared extinct. This is the story of Jenner's life and his profound legacy of medical experimentation, public health provision, and the prevention of other diseases, from anthrax to measles.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Edward Jenner is a giant of modern medicine. Throughout history, smallpox had plagued humanity with disfigurement, blindness, and death. It was an incurable blight, the suffering of which Jenner helped bring to an end. Surmising from the immunity of milkmaids that cowpox might be some defence against the ravages of smallpox, in 1793 he took some of the matter from a human case of cowpox and inserted it into the arms of a young boy. To test this, the first human-to-human vaccination, he subsequently inoculated the boy with smallpox itself, and found him to be immune from the disease. In 1979 smallpox was declared extinct. This is the story of Jenner's life, his medical vision, and his profound legacy. That legacy encompasses revolutions in medical experimentation, public health provision, and the prevention of other diseases, from anthrax to measles. AUTHOR: Rob Boddice is a British historian based in Berlin (professionally) and Montreal (personally). Educated in York, he has published books and articles on the history of human-animal relations, masculinities, sport, science and medicine. Now pursuing research in the history of emotions and the character of scientists, he has recently finished editing a volume on the history of pain and will finish a book on the 'Science of Sympathy' in the coming year. When not buried in libraries, Rob spends his time training for marathons and trying to find cricket coverage in lands that do not understand it. SELLING POINTS: . Doesn't travel down the same hagiographical path as much biographies provides a balanced, considered view . Jenner was responsible for the first vaccinations which ultimately led to the extinction of smallpox . His invention has prevented diseases from anthrax to measles and there is always debate over the safety of child vaccinations: this is a man who is relevant today A concise history of one of the most important figures in history: the father of modern medicine and inventor of vaccines Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
