Trade Review
"Owen Whooley has gone after big game! Knowledge in the Time of Cholera is bold and assertive, forcing a reconsideration of the historical and sociological relationships between medicine and science, and providing an impressive analysis of the deeply intertwined development of these two professions." (Thomas F. Gieryn, author of Cultural Boundaries of Science: Credibility on the Line)"
