Recenzii

The story of insulin's discovery out to be a novel...but Michael Bliss's splendid account is just as absorbing as any fiction.

Using previously unpublished, suppressed, or privately circulated documents, Bliss sets forth the full story of the epochal discovery. It is a tale of frustration, tension, and acute personal rivalry...The book has moments of pure delight.

The new, twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of The Discovery of Insulin kept me...riveted with Michael Bliss's documentation, chock-full of jealousy, pride, and intrigue. [This book] is a must read for all of those whose lives have been touched by diabetes.

Few events in modern medical history were as dramatic as the discovery of insulin, and fewer still are the books that have captured a medical breakthrough as brilliantly as Michael Bliss's classic account. Today, when the expectations of post-genomic medicine have reached new heights, the timing for a twenty-fifth-anniversary edition could not be better.

Bliss provides a breathtaking account of what it really means to be on the cutting edge of scientific discovery.
