Crafting Immunity (eBook, ePUB)

Working Histories of Clinical Immunology
Redaktion: Kroker, Kenton

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Working outside the narrow confines of laboratory histories, Crafting Immunity is the first attempt to set the problems of immunity into a variety of social, technological, institutional and intellectual contexts. It will appeal not only to historians and sociologists of health, but also to social and cultural historians interested in the biomedical creation of modern health regimens.
