Form Follows Fever: Malaria and the Construction of Hong Kong, 1841–1849
Christopher Cowell
The first in-depth account of the turbulent early years of settlement and growth of colonial Hong Kong across the 1840s. During this period, the island gained a terrible reputation as a diseased and deadly location. Malaria, then perceived as a mysterious vapour or miasma, intermittently carried off settlers by the hundreds.
