In the 1950s, news of a polio vaccine mesmerized the public. Hansen (American history and the history of medicine, Baruch College) surveys how doctors, diseases, and medical advances were portrayed in popular media images in the late 19th and 20th centuries. A special focus is on Life magazine's role in the popularization of science. The book features images in the popular media (including comic books), and a listing of radio dramas of the 1940s and 1950s about historical medical heroes.
