[PDF] Mad Dogs and Englishmen: Rabies in Britain, 1830-2000 (Science, Technology and Medicine in Modern History) Neil Pemberton, Michael Worboys

Rabies was a constant threat in Victorian Britain and gripped popular imagination, not least because its human form, hydrophobia, produced a vile death with the mind and body out of control. This book explores the changing understanding of rabies amongst veterinarians, animal welfare campaigners, state officials, politicians and the public.
