The Medical Book by Clifford A Pickover

The Medical Book by Clifford A Pickover

Touching on such diverse subspecialties as genetics, pharmacology, neurology, sexology and immunology, the author intersperses obvious historical milestones; the Hippocratic Oath, general anesthesia, the Human Genome Project, with unexpected and intriguing topics like truth serum, the use of cocaine in eye surgery and face transplants.

"The writing is lively and the topics are varied. .  [Pickover] achieves his goals, and his brevity and breezy style should appeal to readers used to accessing information quickly on the Internet but who are still interested in picking up a book.” --Library Journal
