Vaccination : a history From Lady Montagu to genetic engineering. Médecine sciences Series

The history of vaccination is an important aspect of the history of mankind. Along with the development of hygiene, vaccinations have no doubt constituted the most oustanding advances in medicine. And yet, this subject that revolutionized both human and animal medicine has given rise to little, or at best incomplete, investigation. This oversight has now been remedied: the present volume is a fascinating work that reads like a novel but offers a wealth of information never before assembled in one book. This volume is sure to interest a wide readership, including experts in the field.
