Reviews
'Wall's book clearly delivers a very significant expansion of what we know about the history of bacteriology.' Medical History 'Wall has performed a sterling service in drawing attention to the underbelly of the "bacteriological revolution".' Social History of Medicine 'Bacteria in Britain is the deftly told history of the rise of the germ theory of disease. No one will doubt after reading this book that the story of bacteriology is inseparable from the history of the businesses, laws, institutions and politics of the people who pursued - and contested - it. A brilliantly constructed account.' Chris Crenner, University of Kansas Medical Center
