| About Book |
A comprehensive history of cancer – one of the greatest enemies
of medical progress – and an insight into its effects and potential
cures, by a leading expert on the illness.
In The Emperor of All Maladies, Siddhartha Mukherjee, doctor,
researcher and award-winning science writer, examines cancer with a
cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a
biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent
chronicle of a disease humans have lived with - and perished from - for
more than five thousand years.
The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience and
perseverance, but also of hubris, arrogance and misperception, all
leveraged against a disease that, just three decades ago, was thought
to be easily vanquished in an all-out ‘war against cancer’.
Emperor of All Maladies is about the people who have soldiered through
toxic, bruising, and draining regimes to survive and to increase the store
of human knowledge.
Riveting and magisterial, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the
future of cancer treatments and a brilliant new perspective on the way doctors, scientists,
philosophers and lay people have observed and understood the human body for millennia. |
