Invincible Microbe: Tuberculosis and the Ne… por Jim Murphy
This was facinating book that both described the centuries old battle against TB, but did a good job of describing the development of the medical profession.
Jim Murphy and his wife Alison Blank have created an important, compelling, non-fiction narrative of the “Scourge to the Earth,” otherwise known as Tuberculosis. Using historical background, as well as photographs and other primary source documents, the story of Tuberculosis and its affect on humans as far back as 500,000 years ago is documented.

My VOYA ratings: 1P, 4Q
This book takes on a subject that most young readers have no interest in, a subject that has a history that dates back to the beginning of mankind. The writing is clear, engaging, and memorable. I learned a lot from this book.

This is the story of a killer that has been striking down people for thousands of years -- tuberculosis. This nonfiction mystery looks at the history of the disease and its treatment throughout time, as well as the search to find the cause and cure. The scientific and historical information is filled with human drama as well as photographs that bring the story to life.
