Superbugs, born of antibiotic resistance, are a growing global health crisis. Award-winning educator and researcher at Boston University Muhammad Zaman, Ph.D. tells the story about how we got here and what we must do to combat this threat that connects us all.
What The Reviewers Say
While Mr. Zaman, a professor of biomedical engineering and international health at Boston University, covers some of the same ground that Paul de Kruif did in his lapidary Microbe Hunters (1926), de Kruif was hagiographic, and Mr. Zaman often points to feet of clay.
Zaman, an award-winning professor of biomedical engineering and international health and a New York Times columnist, dramatically recounts the history of microbial research.
A vivid portrayal of our fight against an opponent that has been around for more than 3 billion years.
