Breathing Space

The pollen count is at the ridiculous level in the Atlanta area. Yesterday it was over 9000, today it is over 5000 and we're grateful for the decrease.

Breathing space [electronic resource] : how allergies shape our lives and landscapes by Gregg Mittman offers an intimate portrait of how allergic disease has shaped American culture, landscape, and life. Drawing on environmental, medical, and cultural history and the life stories of people, plants, and insects, Mitman traces how America's changing environment from the late 1800s to the present day has led to the epidemic growth of allergic disease.

The nice thing about this book is, it is available online in both Ebsco and Ebrary. You don't have to go outside and breath the yellow air. Ebsco and ebrary offer downloadable options for many e-readers.

You will need the login to use either vendor off campus. Current CTC students may get the off campus access information by opening My Acount after logging into Find Books.
