Part memoir, part cultural criticism and history, part meditation on the meaning of disease, Shell's work combines the understanding of a medical researcher with the sensitivity of a literary critic. He deftly draws a detailed yet broad picture of the lived experience of a crippling disease as it makes it way into every facet of human existence. 606 $aPoliomyelitis$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aPoliomyelitis$xPatients$vBiography 606 $aPeople with disabilities in motion pictures 606 $aCulture in motion pictures 615 0$aPoliomyelitis$xSocial aspects 615 0$aPoliomyelitis$xPatients 615 0$aPeople with disabilities in motion pictures. 615 0$aCulture in motion pictures. 676 $a616.8/35 700 $aShell$b Marc$0125461 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778182103321 996 $aPolio and its aftermath$93671680 997 $aUNINA
