Description

Book Synopsis
Explores a relatively under-studied period in the history of cancer by providing a careful investigation of the first public crusade to determine the cause of cancer. In this accessible history of science and medicine, Alan I. Marcus exposes the complex story of the efforts made from 1875 through 1915 to first conquer and, failing that, to control cancer - a dual approach that remains in force to this day.

Trade Review
This book is a careful and interesting investigation of a topic that has been much ignored. The work definitely has implication for what we are doing today in cancer research."" - K. Codell Carter, author of The Rise of Causal Concepts of Disease
