Description

The story of asthma stretches from antiquity to the present day, and perceptions of the disease have shifted with time. Mark Jackson describes not only the growing medical understanding of asthma, but shifting cultural views, from artisans' disease to Proust's elegant suffering. Asthma is part of the series, Biographies of Diseases.
