Noble, useful. Some volumes I have acquired in this manner include;
"Fighting Infection, Conquests of the Twentieth Century" by Harry
Dowling, Harvard University Press. 1977., "The History of Bacteriology"
by William Bulloch, Dover Publications. 1938., "Civilization and Disease"
by Henry Sigerist, University of Chicago Press. 1943. and "The Malaria
Capers, Tales of Parasites and People" by Robert Desowitz, WW Norton,
1991. Another source I have found very useful for books on the history
of microbiology are used book stores. I have found several older but
excellent volumes in this way, such as Zinnser's "Rats Lice and History",
Theodor Rosebury's "Microbes and Morals" and the "Plague Killers" by
Greer Williams. Hope this helps.
