Sobre este artículo
New York: William Wood and Company , 1884. PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR TO HIS WIFE. Revised Second Edition with added text, new photo micrographs, and updated bibliography. Original dark blue-green cloth with gilt titled spine. Illustrated with ten plates and twenty-nine cuts. "Brigadier General George Miller Sternberg (June 8, 1838 - November 3, 1915) was a U.S. Army physician who is considered the first U.S. bacteriologist, having written Manual of Bacteriology (1892). After he survived typhoid and yellow fever, Sternberg documented the cause of malaria (1881), discovered the cause of lobar pneumonia (1881), and confirmed the roles of the bacilli of tuberculosis and typhoid fever (1886). As the 18th U.S. Army Surgeon General, from 1893 to 1902, Sternberg led commissions to control typhoid and yellow fever, along with his subordinate Major Walter Reed. Sternberg also oversaw the establishment of the Army Medical School (1893; now the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research) and of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps (1901). The pioneering German bacteriologist Robert Koch honored Sternberg with the sobriquet, "Father of American Bacteriology".--from Wikipedia. Flyleafs and title page detached but present, chip in cloth at top of spine not affecting gilt lettering. A good copy in need of some minor restoration. [see pictures]. Signed. Hard Cover. Good.
