The Picks:

Big Ideas That Changed The World: A Shot In The Arm – Amulet Books looks at public health’s greatest achievement. The history of vaccinations is the story of the struggle to protect people from infectious diseases. Beginning with humankind’s greatest affliction to date, smallpox, and concluding with an overview of the COVID-19 pandemic, author Don Brown traces the evolution of vaccines, as narrated by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, who popularized inoculation in England in the early 18th century. This book examines deadly diseases such as measles, polio, anthrax, rabies, cholera and influenza, as well as the achievements of scientists including Louis Pasteur, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, and Edward Jenner, the “father of immunology.” It tackles the science behind how our immune systems work, the discovery of bacteria, well as the public and political response to vaccination throughout history, such as the anti-vaccination movement. This title is a must for every library science shelf.
