Reviews
... the reader is guided through the history by a chronological organization of chapters according to either unique challenges across different eras or to responses to outside influences (some of which were funding-driven) and by summaries at the end of each chapter that assist in providing overviews of the recently described events.
The book has numerous fascinating insights into the evolution of Hopkins and the ways that its own history reflects much broader changes in the politics and social history of the nation.
... the publication of Karen Kruse Thomas’s volume provide a breathtaking historical view of the promise and the problems of public health—one much needed now as we look to the future.
