Mitch M’s Reviews > Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection > Status Update

This book is incredible so far. I am loving this historical recounting of just the name and societal perception of Tuberculosis disease. The fact that it was once ROMANTICIZED by Europeans and Americans is insane! And once Koch identified the bacterium, which helped us better understand its mode of transmission and how to better control it, it then became a disease that mostly inflicted poorer populations. Crazy.

This book is incredible so far. John Green has such a way of telling the history/story of a scientific concept while interjecting his own narrative & experiences alongside it.
