The Dangerous Miracle | Liam Shaw

About The Dangerous Miracle

The Dangerous Miracle by Liam Shaw is a history of antibiotics that places microbes, discovery and resistance within the same unfolding story.

Rather than treating antibiotics as a single heroic invention, Shaw explains how antimicrobial compounds arise in nature, how researchers learned to use them and why their success created new evolutionary pressure. The result connects medical history with microbiology and the modern problem of resistance.
