Summary Not all scientific discoveries are genius. 'Continual Raving' tells the combined stories of how scientists across the 19th and 20th centuries defeated meningitis - not through flawless scientific research, but often through a series of serendipitous events, misplaced assumptions, and flawed conclusions. The result is a story of not just a vanquished disease, but how scientific accomplishment sometimes occurs where it's least expected
