Cesarz wszech chorób. Biografia raka

by: Siddhartha Mukherjee (author) Agnieszka Pokojska (translator) Jan Dzierzgowski (translator)

4.50 5

Siddhartha Mukherjee opowiada historię raka, poczynając od pierwszych odnotowanych przypadków sprzed tysięcy lat, a kończąc na czasach współczesnych, badając ten temat z precyzją biologa molekularnego, perspektywą historyka i pasją biografa. W rezultacie powstała przejrzysta i niezwykle błyskotliwa kronika choroby, która towarzyszy ludzkości od ponad pięciu tysiącleci. Cesarz wszech chorób, łącząc przystępnie przekazaną wiedzę naukową z opisem konkretnych – historycznych i współczesnych – przypadków chorych, demistyfikuje najbardziej
