Science journalist Lina Zeldovich unveils the remarkable history of these ‘phages’ and the scientists who pioneered their use. From their initial discovery in 1917 to their near oblivion in the West and persecution in the Soviet Union, this compelling narrative follows the revival of phage therapy as antibiotics falter. Explore the dedication of researchers racing against antibiotic resistance to bring this unique living medicine back to combat incurable diseases. ‘The Living Medicine’ is an eye-opening, impeccably researched story of scientific discovery, bravery, and the future of human health, perfect for readers of ‘The Bookish Owl’ seeking hope against superbugs.
