tekijä Thomas Hager
e-kirja
Lue näyte Lue näyte
"The stories are skillfully told and entirely entertaining . . . An expert, mostly feel-good book about modern medicine" from the award-winning author (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
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.
"[An] absorbing new book." —The New York Times Book Review
"[A] well-written and engaging chronicle." —The Wall Street Journal
"Lucidly informative and compulsively readable." —Publishers Weekly
"Entertaining [and] insightful." —Booklist
"Well-written, well-researched and fascinating to read Ten Drugs provides an insightful look at how drugs have shaped modern medical practices. Towards the end of the book Hager writes that he 'came away surprised by some of the things he had learned.' I had the very same reaction." —Penny Le Couteur, coauthor of Napoleon's Buttons: How 17 Molecules Changed History
