Description

With more than a million victims every year, more than any other disease, including malaria, tuberculosis is once again proving itself to be one of the smartest killers humanity has ever faced. Catching Breath follows the history of TB through the ages, from its time as an infection of hunter-gatherers to the first human villages, which set it up with everything it needed to become the monstrous disease it is today. It goes on to look at the latest research in fighting the disease, with stories of modern scientific research and the personal experiences of those affected by the disease. Former tuberculosis researcher Kathryn Lougheed traces the history of TB through the ages and looks at the latest research in fighting the ancient disease.
