Starred Review. Mukherjee's debut book is a sweeping epic of obsession, brilliant researchers, dramatic new treatments, euphoric success and tragic failure, and the relentless battle by scientists and patients alike against an equally relentless, wily, and elusive enemy. From the first chemotherapy developed from textile dyes to the possibilities emerging from our understanding of cancer cells, Mukherjee shapes a massive amount of history into a coherent story with a roller-coaster trajectory: the discovery of a new treatment--surgery, radiation, chemotherapy--followed by the notion that if a little is good, more must be better, ending in disfiguring radical mastectomy and multidrug chemo so toxic the treatment ended up being almost worse than the disease. The first part of the book is driven by the obsession of Sidney Farber and philanthropist Mary Lasker to find a unitary cure for all cancers. (Farber developed the first successful chemotherapy for childhood leukemia.) The last and most exciting part is driven by the race of brilliant, maverick scientists to understand how cells become cancerous. Each new discovery was small, but as Mukherjee, a Columbia professor of medicine, writes, "Incremental advances can add up to transformative changes." Mukherjee's formidable intelligence and compassion produce a stunning account of the effort to disrobe the "emperor of maladies." (Nov.) (c)

《中原纪事》是一部揭露河南艾滋病肆虐这一旷世灾难的纪录片，由著名独立制片人胡杰、艾晓明于2006年摄制，摄制者进入中原艾滋病高发村零距离实地采访高耀洁教授和感染者社群，倾听农民的悲惨遭遇和对政府的控诉，为世人呈现了这段沉重黑暗的历史。

河南“血祸”是指20世纪90年代发生于中国以华中地区河南省为中心的艾滋病大规模传播事件。事件起因主要是各地的血浆经济，艾滋病的主要传播途径以血液传播为主，感染者大多参与过卖血或在疫区接受输血。疫情最早披露于河南省，河北、山东、山西、安徽、四川、贵州等地疫情都较为严重，以河南省的大流行最为知名。

事件直接起因是河南当地以卖血为产业的“血浆经济”。1992年，河南省卫生厅和河南红会血液中心达成协议，将血液计划指标一次性拔高到原来的两倍，企图超额完成分配的献血指标。在当时的中共河南省委书记李长春以及担任河南省卫生厅厅长的刘全喜大力推动下，卖血更是成为一种风潮，政府更是提出了“要想奔小康，赶紧卖血浆”的宣传语，而河南睢县电视台更是在广告中宣称“不卖血就是不爱国”，大量农村人口参与其中，农民大规模卖血是官方号召的结果，收购血液的“血头”只顾赚钱，用不洁设备及原始采血方式，结果造成大范围的艾滋病毒交叉感染。

“单采血浆”是指把采到的人血经离心机分离，取走血浆后再把红细胞回输给卖血者，使其能很快恢复体力；而抽取的血浆并不能直接用于供血，而往往用于医药公司制成血液制品。但在实际过程中，为了加快采血速度，采血站往往会将前一位供血者分离出血直接输给下一位供血者，这也大大增加了艾滋病、乙肝等血液传播疾病的感染概率。并且血站有时还会欺骗卖血者回输血球可以控制贫血，从而增加献血次数，献血者往往主动同意回输血液。

香港《亚洲周刊》称卫生厅长刘全喜是事件的直接责任人，其本人在上任之初撤换河南省生物制药所负责人，并联系美国生物制药公司，洽谈血液出口事宜，由此卫生厅下属成立各类血液采集机构，还允许许多军政企业挂靠其下从事血液交易，刘的许多亲属都直接经营血站。刘全喜更是在卫生厅会议上公然宣称，“河南需要大力发展第三产业，大办血站”，河南有9000万人口，80%都是农民，即便只有极少数愿意献血，将血液收集起来卖给血浆公司，“也可以创造上亿元的价值，走向脱贫之路”。

河南、贵州等地地方政府对血液买卖采取遮掩或者逃避责任的态度，阻挠政府科学家的调查，阻止国际医疗援助。英国《卫报》转引中国官员解释隐瞒疫情的原因：“如果他们认为我们省有大量的艾滋病病例，谁会在我们省投资？”，中央政府被指责对地方政府的举措保持沉默，相关事件曾为政府的禁忌话题。

当时主事河南的李长春、以及事件起因相关刘全喜等人都免于问责，刘全喜在2002年当选中共十六大代表，退休后仍担任省人大代表，而李长春则于1997年起进入中共中央政治局并于1998年离任河南，由李克强接任其职位，后于2002年晋升中共中央政治局常委，2012年顺利退休，而据《亚洲周刊》报道，4名河南纪委长期以来联名举报李长春，但一直未能成功。李克强虽然是临危受命，首次进行了省级的艾滋病普查，最终缓解了艾滋病疫情，但任内仍然封锁有关艾滋病流行的消息，这一事件也成为他一生的污点，却仍得以升任国务院总理。

最早向外界披露这一事件的河南中医学院第一附属医院退休医生高耀洁于2009年8月以访问学者身份出走美国，目前定居在纽约曼哈顿，并在海外陆续出版有关中国艾滋病现状的书籍，她对BBC记者坦言担心受到中国政府逮捕，发觉事实的许多医生和记者都受到不同程度的打压。

What is it like to be a brain surgeon? How does it feel to hold someone's life in your hands, to cut into the stuff that creates thought, feeling, and reason? How do you live with the consequences of performing a potentially lifesaving operation when it all goes wrong?
In neurosurgery, more than in any other branch of medicine, the doctor's oath to "do no harm" holds a bitter irony. Operations on the brain carry grave risks. Every day, leading neurosurgeon Henry Marsh must make agonizing decisions, often in the face of great urgency and uncertainty.
If you believe that brain surgery is a precise and exquisite craft, practiced by calm and detached doctors, this gripping, brutally honest account will make you think again. With astonishing compassion and candor, Marsh reveals the fierce joy of operating, the profoundly moving triumphs, the harrowing disasters, the haunting regrets, and the moments of black humor that characterize a brain surgeon's life.
Do No Harm provides unforgettable insight into the countless human dramas that take place in a busy modern hospital. Above all, it is a lesson in the need for hope when faced with life's most difficult decisions.

以全球的尺度來認識醫學史，
並理解危害全球健康的深層問題。
現代醫學的誕生不是西方人獨自完成的。現代醫學具有濃厚的殖民性，與西方帝國主義的發展息息相關。西方向外殖民的歷史，不只依賴軍事力量，醫學伴隨其中，扮演照護殖民者生命健康的角色。透過醫學的進展，我們可以了解現代世界如何應運而生；從西方國家在美、亞、非洲的屯墾殖民史，我們可以理解他們如何藉由醫學促進經濟活動，完成文明開化的道德使命。
但是，醫學只是一種工具，幫助殖民者治理他者嗎？是殖民者帶來醫學福音，幫助被殖民者脫離疾病、改善環境嗎？根據歷史考察，答案其實遠比我們想像的複雜。本書從西方將被殖民者的自然知識納入藥典，到對金雞納樹的生物探勘狂熱；從種族和氣候為基礎的疾病理論，到寄生蟲學到細菌學如何影響國際合作；從西方鄙棄殖民地的醫事人員，到殖民地傳統醫學的「被發明」，廣泛呈現醫學史的多層次與多樣性。直至二十世紀，殖民醫療措施仍延伸至全球衛生政策，掌握醫學史成為理解當代健康挑戰的鎖匙。
本書在地理尺度上橫渡美、亞、非，並顧及澳洲、太平洋島群；在時間刻度上，自十七世紀以降，橫跨三百年；在資料取用上，參照最新的研究成果和第一手資料，總和出這樣一部作品，能夠回應過去各自研究者侷限於特定區域或是特定疾病的不足。

This book explores the links among ecology, disease, and international politics in the context of the Greater Caribbean - the landscapes lying between Surinam and the Chesapeake - in the seventeenth through early twentieth centuries. Ecological changes made these landscapes especially suitable for the vector mosquitoes of yellow fever and malaria, and these diseases wrought systematic havoc among armies and would-be settlers. Because yellow fever confers immunity on survivors of the disease, and because malaria confers resistance, these diseases played partisan roles in the struggles for empire and revolution, attacking some populations more severely than others. In particular, yellow fever and malaria attacked newcomers to the region, which helped keep the Spanish Empire Spanish in the face of predatory rivals in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. In the late eighteenth and through the nineteenth century, these diseases helped revolutions to succeed by decimating forces sent out from Europe to prevent them.

In the early modern world, botany was big science and big business, critical to Europe's national and trade ambitions. Tracing the dynamic relationships among plants, peoples, states, and economies over the course of three centuries, this collection of essays offers a lively challenge to a historiography that has emphasized the rise of modern botany as a story of taxonomies and "pure" systems of classification. Charting a new map of botany along colonial coordinates, reaching from Europe to the New World, India, Asia, and other points on the globe, Colonial Botany explores how the study, naming, cultivation, and marketing of rare and beautiful plants resulted from and shaped European voyages, conquests, global trade, and scientific exploration. From the earliest voyages of discovery, naturalists sought profitable plants for king and country, personal and corporate gain. Costly spices and valuable medicinal plants such as nutmeg, tobacco, sugar, Peruvian bark, peppers, cloves, cinnamon, and tea ranked prominently among the motivations for European voyages of discovery. At the same time, colonial profits depended largely on natural historical exploration and the precise identification and effective cultivation of profitable plants. This volume breaks new ground by treating the development of the science of botany in its colonial context and situating the early modern exploration of the plant world at the volatile nexus of science, commerce, and state politics. Written by scholars as international as their subjects, Colonial Botany uncovers an emerging cultural history of plants and botanical practices in Europe and its possessions.

Guardian columnist Dr Ben Goldacre takes us on a hilarious, invigorating and informative journey through the bad science we're fed by the worst of the hacks and the quacks! When Dr Ben Goldacre saw someone on daytime TV dipping her feet in an 'Aqua Detox' footbath, releasing her toxins into the water and turning it brown, he thought he'd try the same at home. 'Like some kind of Johnny Ball cum Witchfinder General', using his girlfriend's Barbie doll, he gently passed an electrical current through the warm salt water. It turned brown. In his words: 'before my very eyes, the world's first Detox Barbie was sat, with her feet in a pool of brown sludge, purged of a weekend's immorality.' Dr Ben Goldacre is the author of the 'Bad Science' column in the Guardian and his book is about all the 'bad science' we are constantly bombarded with in the media and in advertising. At a time when science is used to prove everything and nothing, everyone has their own 'bad science' moments -- from the useless pie-chart on the back of cereal packets to the use of the word 'visibly' in cosmetics ads.This book will help people to quantify their instincts -- that a lot of the so-called 'science' which appears in the media and in advertising is just wrong or misleading. Satirical and amusing -- and unafraid to expose the ridiculous -- it provides the reader with the facts they need to differentiate the good from the bad. Full of spleen, this is a hilarious, invigorating and informative journey through the world of 'bad science'.

Medicines are the core of treatment in biomedicine, as in many other medical traditions. As material things, they have social as well as pharmacological lives, with people and between people. They are tokens of healing and hope, as well as valuable commodities. Each chapter of this book shows drugs in the hands of particular actors: mothers in Manila, villagers in Burkina Faso, women in the Netherlands, consumers in London, market traders in Cameroon, pharmacists in Mexico, injectionists in Uganda, doctors in Sri Lanka, industrialists in India, and policymakers in Geneva. Each example is used to explore a different problem in the study of medicines, such as social efficacy, experiences of control, skepticism and cultural politics, commodification of health, the attraction of technology and the marketing of images and values. The book shows how anthropologists deal with the sociality of medicines, through their ethnography, their theorizing, and their uses of knowledge.

A compelling, often hilarious and occasionally horrifying exploration of how modern medicine came to be!

Wondering whether eating powdered mummies might be just the thing to cure your ills? Tempted by those vintage ads suggesting you wear radioactive underpants for virility? Ever considered drilling a hole in your head to deal with those pesky headaches? Probably not. But for thousands of years, people have done things like this—and things that make radioactive underpants seem downright sensible! In their hit podcast, Sawbones, Sydnee and Justin McElroy breakdown the weird and wonderful way we got to modern healthcare. And some of the terrifying detours along the way.

Every week, Dr. Sydnee McElroy and her husband Justin amaze, amuse, and gross out (depending on the week) hundreds of thousands of avid listeners to their podcast, Sawbones . Consistently rated a top podcast on iTunes, with over 15 million total downloads, this rollicking journey through thousands of years of medical mishaps and miracles is not only hilarious but downright educational. While you may never even consider applying  boiled weasel to your forehead (once the height of sophistication when it came to headache cures), you will almost certainly face some questionable medical advice in your everyday life (we’re looking at you, raw water!) and be better able to figure out if this is a miracle cure (it’s not) or a scam.
