Review

"There are books on the history of cholera, on the laboratory and scientific networks, and on epistemology and science, but none like this one. Owen Whooley has produced a truly original book, an important intervention in science studies, history of medicine, and nineteenth-century American society and culture."

(Alexandra Minna Stern author of Eugenic Nation: Faults and Frontiers of Better Breeding in Modern Amer)

"Owen Whooley has gone after big game! Knowledge in the Time of Cholera is bold and assertive, forcing a reconsideration of the historical and sociological relationships between medicine and science, providing an impressive analysis of the deeply intertwined development of these two professions."

(Thomas Gieryn author of Cultural Boundaries of Science: Credibility on the Line)
