Lithium by Walter A Brown
In this incredible story of a miracle drug and the forgotten pioneer who discovered it, Lithium pays homage to... the renegade side of science (NPR).
"The intertwined story of Cade and his momentous finding is told in Lithium, a compelling book by US psychiatrist Walter Brown.. What Brown does superbly well is to show that Cade made his discovery without access to advances in technology or to modern facilities — and almost despite them." -- Nature
