Description

Visually engaging graphic non-fiction about major changes in health and medicine, with appeal to reluctant readers and science lovers alike. When babies are born early, they often have trouble surviving. But special containers called incubators help babies grow by keeping them warm and protected. At first, people in the medical world were skeptical about incubators. But some trailblazing doctors believed in the technology—and put it on display. "Incubator exhibits" showed the public how incubators saved lives. The controversial displays led people to accept this medical innovation. Follow the incubator's fascinating rise with this graphic history.
