Reviews
"An important book that pushes the boundaries of the historiography of biomedicine in many ways, The Circulation of Penicillin in Spain is also an interesting read for beginners, thanks to comprehensive introductions to the twentieth-century history of Spain; the origins of industrial drug production; the genealogy of penicillin; the history of antibiotic development, screening, and resistance; the standardization of terminology; and European consumption and regulation policies." (Agata Ignaciuk, Technology and Culture, Vol. 62 (2), April, 2021) "Mariá Jesús Santesmases's innovative new book, The Circulation of Penicillin in Spain, stands at the crossroads of two recent historiographies: science and technology under fascism, and the history of drugs. ... Santesmases interweaves a story of biomedical politics and political economy with an on-the-ground exploration of gender and labor in the Spanish drug industry." (Angela N. H. Creager, Journal of the History of Biology, August, 2018), "Mariá Jesús Santesmases's innovative new book, The Circulation of Penicillin in Spain, stands at the crossroads of two recent historiographies: science and technology under fascism, and the history of drugs. ... Santesmases interweaves a story of biomedical politics and political economy with an on-the-ground exploration of gender and labor in the Spanish drug industry." (Angela N. H. Creager, Journal of the History of Biology, August, 2018)
