Join SAR President Michael F. Brown for a conversation with Theresa MacPhail author of Allergic: Our Irritated Bodies in a Changing World.
“A holistic study of how allergies continue to bewilder medical science . . . While the culprits responsible for the increases in allergic sufferers are debatable moving targets, MacPhail skillfully narrows down the possibilities and some of the solutions. . . . [Her] examination of the science of immunology from a social and cultural perspective will give readers plenty of relevant, thought-provoking information. An exhaustive and accessible report.”—Kirkus Reviews
