Krátky popis
Behind every landmark drug is a story. It could be an oddball
researcher's genius insight, a catalyzing moment in geopolitical
history, a new breakthrough technology, or an unexpected but
welcome side effect discovered during clinical trials. Piece
together these stories, as Thomas Hager does in this remarkable,
century-spanning history, and you can trace the evolution of our
culture and the practice of medicine.Beginning with opium, the
",joy plant,", which has been used for 10,000 years, Hager tells a
captivating story of medicine. His subjects include the largely
forgotten female pioneer who introduced smallpox inoculation to
Britain, the infamous knockout drops, the first antibiotic, which
saved countless lives, the first antipsychotic, which helped empty
public mental hospitals, Viagra, statins, and the new frontier of
monoclonal antibodies. This is a deep, wide-ranging, and wildly
entertaining book.
