In this pioneering study, Anne Hardy uncovers the discovery of food poisoning as a public health problem and of \u003cem\u003eSalmonella\u003c\/em\u003e as its\u003cbr\u003ecause. She demonstrates how pathways of infection through eggs, flies, meat, milk, shellfish, and prepared foods were realised, and the roles of healthy human and animal carriers understood. This volume takes us into the world of the laboratories where \u003cem\u003eSalmonella\u003c\/em\u003e and their habits were studied - a\u003cbr\u003eworld with competing interests, friendships, intellectual agreements and disagreements - and describes how the importance of different strains of these bacteria and what they showed about agricultural practices, global trade, and modern industrial practices came to be understood. Finally, Hardy\u003cbr\u003etakes us from unhygienic practice on fields and farms, to crucial sites of bacterial exchange in slaughterhouse and kitchen, where infections like \u003cem\u003eSalmonella\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eCampylobacter\u003c\/em\u003e enter the human food chain, and where every cook can make the difference between well-being and suffering in those whom they\u003cbr\u003efeed. This history is based on a case-study of the British experience, but it is set in the context of today's immense global problem of food-borne disease which affects all human societies, and is one of the most urgent and important problems in global public health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Hardy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198704976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198704973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Anne Hardy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419016806655,"sku":"9780198704973","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4bec984b-7b74-4ad6-a2a0-06eac8dfde75.jpg?v=1761508926","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/salmonella-infections-networks-of-knowledge-anne-hardy-9780198704973","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
