The Emperor Of All Maladies - A Biography of Cancer - By Siddhartha Mukherjee

The Emperor Of All Maladies - A Biography of Cancer - By Siddhartha Mukherjee - Paperback. New condition. Winner of the Pulitzer prize. A New York Times Bestseller. "A compulsively readable, surprisingly uplifting, and vivid tale. Thrilling." - O. THE OPRAH MAGAZINE. The Emperor of All Maladies is a magnificent, profoundly humane "biography" of cancer - from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee 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, paternalism, and misperception.
