Reviews

Institutional histories are often boring [but] Elizabeth Fee's book is neither tedious nor merely fashioned for in-house consumption. In fact, developments at the Hopkins School of Hygiene are merely the platform from which the author launches into a broad investigation of early twentieth-century public health ideology in America. Journal of the American Medical Association
