Sobre este item
New York: E. P. Dutton, 1978. First edition. Stated. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. Good in good dust jacket. DJ has some wear and soiling, edge tears and chips. DJ condition is more fair to good.. viii, [1], 314 p. Footnotes. Illustrations. Notes. References. Index. Spawned from a background of imperial rivalry and Victorian faith in the efficacy of technology to banish both disease and heathenism from the dark-skinned world, the crusade against malaria was one of colonization and eradication. It was not until the 1950s that the eradication strategy came into question, and with it an appreciation of the complexities of nature. This interwoven tale of scientific inquiry, competition, natural and social history makes for a compelling read-with the battle against malaria still far from over.
