{"product_id":"arte-de-detener-y-aniquilar-las-epidemias","title":"Arte de detener y aniquilar las epidemias","description":"Ramón Merli y Feixas (1763-1838) published this in 1815, four decades before Snow took the handle off the Broad Street pump and seventy years before Koch. What he could offer was what the age had: isolation, ventilation, fumigation, the management of the sick and of the fear around them. Much of the reasoning rests on miasma and is simply wrong; a good deal of the practical advice — separate the sick, move the air, clean everything — happens to work anyway, for reasons the author could not have given. That gap between correct practice and mistaken theory is the whole interest of the book. This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1815 edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.","brand":"EDITIONS RECREASOFT","offers":[{"title":"Perfect Bound","offer_id":67483182235952,"sku":"9782387811622","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thegreatbritishbookshop.co.uk\/products\/arte-de-detener-y-aniquilar-las-epidemias","provider":"The Great British Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
