Description: The Improbable Quest to Discover New Medicines By: Donald R. Kirsch PhD & Ogi Ogas PhD Narrated by: James Foster Length: 7 hrs and 35 mins Unabridged Audiobook Release date: 01-03-17 Language: English Genre: Science & Technology, Medicine Publisher: Tantor Audio Format: mp3 64/22.05 mono Publisher's Summary The search to find medicines is as old as disease, which is to say as old as the human race. Through serendipity - by chewing, brewing, and snorting - some Neolithic souls discovered opium, alcohol, snakeroot, juniper, frankincense, and other helpful substances. Ötzi the Iceman, the 5,000-year-old hunter frozen in the Italian Alps, was found to have whipworms in his intestines and Bronze Age medicine, a worm-killing birch fungus, knotted to his leggings. Nowadays Big Pharma conglomerates spend billions of dollars on state-of-the art laboratories staffed by PhDs to discover blockbuster drugs. Yet despite our best efforts to engineer cures, luck, trial and error, risk, and ingenuity are still fundamental to medical discovery. The Drug Hunters is a colorful, fact-filled narrative history of the search for new medicines from our Neolithic forebears to the professionals of today and from quinine and aspirin to Viagra, Prozac, and Lipitor. ©2017 Donald R.
