Review

"Rosner and Markowitz have produced a carefully crafted history of the rise and fall of this occupational disease, focusing especially on the political forces behind changing disease definitions.... Deadly Dust comes as a fresh breeze into one of the more stuffy and too often ignored alleys of medical history." - The Journal of the American Medical Association "A thought-provoking, densely referenced, uncompromising history.... Like all good history, it challenges our basic assumptions about how the world is ordered and offers both factual information and a conceptual framework for rethinking what we 'know.'" - The New England Journal of Medicine "If there is a paradigmatic tale of occupational health... Deadly Dust is it." - Science "Deadly Dust raises an important methodological problem that has long gone underarticulated in medical historical circles: how can social historians of medicine offer political or economic explanations for the scientific efforts of their professional subjects without losing a grip on the biological aspects of disease?" - The Journal of the History of Medicine"
