Breathing Space: How Allergies Shape Our Lives and Landscapes
Filed in archive Asthma , Gadgets and Tools Against Allergies , Hay Fever on May 11, 2007
A new book that has come out of the market, Breathing Space: How Allergies Shape Our Lives and Landscapes discusses the history of hay fever, and how it has been shaping our lives.
As Mitman demonstrates, Americans seeking relief have changed where they live, what they build their homes with, what they buy, what activities they participate in and even the chemistry of their own bodies-but still all you hear every spring is sneezes. In clear and detailed prose, Mitman offers a wide-ranging history of this ongoing struggle that's as much about 20th century American consumerism as it is about allergies.
Read more about the book from the Amazon editorial reviews, or from the University of Wisconsin feature report.
