Open All Close All

  • "Nearly all of the advances introduced against the odds by the people in this book still contribute to healing. Julie M. Fenster's riveting tales of the visionaries who pushed forward the boundaries of modern medicine, often at tremendous peril to themselves, is a rich tapestry of the personal stories which support great science, as well as of the groundbreaking science behind those stories. Whether read as a work which complements and adds to The History Channel series, or on its own merits, Mavericks, Miracles and Medicine is a startling reminder of the randomness of human progress -- and of the obsessed geniuses and eccentrics without whom our lives would be vastly different. - Jacket."
