Beskrivning

Who are these "guinea pig scientists"? Searching for clues to some of science's and medicine's bigger (and sometimes stranger) questions, they are all the men and women who devoted their lives to help find the answers. Spanning from the 1770s to the present - and uncovering the science behind digestion, the spread of yellow fever, the development of the first heart catheter, and more - their ten stories are at once scientifically detailed and fascinatingly personal.
