Description

Book Synopsis
As Fee demonstrates, not simply in its formation but throughout its history the School of Hygiene served as a crucible for the forces shaping the public health profession as a whole.

Trade Review
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
