Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. A very good copy. Signed and inscribed by the author (Vera). Pp. xxv, 455. Whittington's central thesis focuses on how the colony of Western Australia was simultaneously gripped by two powerful, contrasting forces: "gold fever" (the manic rush for wealth) and "typhoid fever" (the lethal, waterborne bacterial epidemic). The book chronicles how the overwhelming desire for gold caused miners and newly formed government bodies to ignore basic health, sanitation, and infrastructure, resulting in a public health catastrophe.
