I loved the conversational style of the author, diving into complex scientific concepts in the same sentence as an offhand joke. Lougheed's interview with the ladies from Stuff You Missed in History Class made me buy the book immediately, and has sparked a fascination with the history and future of tuberculosis. As a non-scientist history-lover, I was really intrigued by the well-rounded exploration of tuberculosis.
I loved the explanation of how tuberculosis treatment has changed throughout history. The author described the issues of treating tuberculosis very concisely.
The book is overly technical in some parts (which may cause the average reader to lose interest) which is unavoidable when discussing a disease. But still a good book.
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!I have mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, the research and science are excellent and multilayered. You can easily discern the love the author has for tuberculosis and how to contain it. On the other hand, some of her attempts at humor and lightening the mood seemed out of place to me. A reader who is not familiar with pop culture may find some of her sentences confusing – such as:“Basically, in some settings, the machines are just sitting there like big ugly espresso machines that no one really knows how to use. Even if someone does get the urge to brew some coffee, George Clooney has used the last cassette and not put in a new orderâ€.I would be totally immersed in the science aspect and she would throw something like that in there from time to time. It seemed as if she was attempting to lighten the serious subject up with these humorous asides, but it just didn’t work for me.There are a lot of facts and statistics about TB, which are staggering when you stop to consider how many people have been, and are, suffering from this disease. Certainly TB doesn’t get the airtime of, let’s say, AIDS or cancer – but its presence is still felt daily in places like Africa or India. I hadn’t realized how prevalent it still is, or how stricken these countries are.The writer goes deep into the origin of TB and the different ways scientists are trying to defeat it. It’s a canny bacteria, though, and has the ability to mutate or take advantage of other sicknesses in the body. After reading CATCHING BREATH, I know more about TB than I ever have; from the obvious to the minutiae, the author gives us everything she’s got. I definitely appreciate her effort but the writing style was at times too dry, too broadly humorous or too rambling. Maybe a bit of editing would do the trick? In any case, don’t avoid this book if you are a fan of diseases – just be prepared for a little strangeness. You will be educated, amazed, and humbled by this tenacious germ.
“How do you kill something that’s spent millions of generations finding ways to not be killed? Which, at times, seems to know us better than we know ourselves?â€Catching Breath: The Making and Unmaking of Tuberculosis explores the intertwined histories of TB and mankind. Lougheed describes how TB has altered countless facets of our lives; from our cultures down to genetics. This is really what kept me engaged in the book, I am not as interested in learning about infectious diseases, but how factors such as poverty, war, and politics, lead to health disparities. Most importantly, Lougheed drives home the point that TB is not a disease of the past. This is not the memoir of a bacteria. In 2016, 1.7 million deaths were attributed to TB infection.“Today, persons affected or displaced by war, political instability, and natural disasters remain at high risk of TB thanks to poor living conditions and a lack of access to consistent healthcare.â€This is a well-researched read on TB. Not only does the author have a background in TB research but she has also interviewed scientists currently at the forefront of TB clinical research. I liked that the author has really dug through the most recent peer reviewed scientific literature on TB epidemiology and treatment and included summaries of it in this book. While those in economically developed countries may have better access to healthcare, how we actually effectively treat TB is still a major question. While more heavy in science material than the average pop science book, Lougheed’s writing style is witty and wry, which keeps the book from reading like a textbook.“It’s a new world out there, with HIV infection, drug resistance, co-morbidities such as diabetes, immunosuppressive treatments for other conditions, malnutrition, and no end in sight for those with social inequalities that have plagued us…well, forever. Like a weed, TB continues to slip through the cracks.â€Overall, I gave this 4/5 stars. For anyone interested in non-fiction, medicine, or history, this is a good book to pick up.*I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
I've read several good books on tuberculosis including The Remedy, Experiment 11, and Discovering Tuberculosis. Catching Breath is at least as good as, if not better than, the others. The scope of this book is broader than that of the others, and includes history, diagnosis, treatment and public health. I particularly liked Kathryn Lougheed’s good sense of humor especially considering the grim nature of the subject material. She uses plain wording and analogies, and keeps jargon to a minimum. She also is very clear about what is speculation vs what is established. I strongly recommend this book as a starting point for learning more about tuberculosis or as a great recap to put all the pieces together.Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book via Netgalley for review purposes.
The book does a good job of describing how TB affects humanity today. It's clear that we need more well-experienced TB researchers; it's not clear that we need more popular science writers. This is a topic that the author carefully avoids, which is a shame.
