Influenza : An epidemiologic study
by Warren T. (Warren Taylor) Vaughan
About the author
Born in 1893, Warren T. Vaughan was an American doctor whose work centered on epidemiology, allergy, and applied immunology. He wrote Influenza: An Epidemiologic Study early in his career, and later became especially well known for books on allergy, including Primer of Allergy, Practice of Allergy, and the lively popular work Strange Malady.
Vaughan wrote at a time when allergy was still a developing field, and his books helped explain a confusing subject to both medical readers and general audiences. Contemporary notices remembered him as an authority on allergy, and his writing shows a talent for turning technical material into something readable and engaging.
He died in Richmond, Virginia, in 1944 at the age of 51. Even in a relatively short life, he left behind a body of work that reflects both scientific curiosity and a strong gift for explanation.
