The Laws of Medicine
Essential, required reading for doctors and patients alike: A Pulitzer Prize-winning author and one of the world’s premiere cancer researchers reveals an urgent philosophy on the little-known principles that govern medicine—and how understanding these principles can empower us all. Over a decade ago, when Siddhartha Mukherjee was a young, exhausted, and isolated medical resident, he discovered a book that would forever change the way he understood the medical profession. The book, The Youngest Science, forced Dr. Mukherjee to ask himself an urgent, fundamental question: Is medicine a “science”? Sciences must have laws—statements of truth based on repeated experiments that describe some universal attribute of nature. But does medicine have laws like other sciences? Dr. Mukherjee has spent his career pondering this question—a question that would ultimately produce some of most serious thinking he would do around the tenets of his discipline—culminating in The Laws of Medicine. In this important treatise, he investigates the most perplexing and illuminating cases of his career that ultimately led him to identify the three key principles that govern medicine. Brimming with fascinating historical details and modern medical wonders, this important book is a fascinating glimpse into the struggles and Eureka! moments that people outside of the medical profession rarely see. Written with Dr. Mukherjee’s signature eloquence and passionate prose, The Laws of Medicine is a critical read, not just for those in the medical profession, but for everyone who is moved to better understand how their health and well-being is being treated. Ultimately, this book lays the groundwork for a new way of understanding medicine, now and into the future.

El emperador de todos los males

release date: Jun 19, 2014
El emperador de todos los males
En 2010, siete millones de personas murieron de cáncer en todo el mundo. Con esta fría estadística Siddhartha Mukherjee, médico e investigador oncológico, arranca su amplia y absorbente «biografía», ganadora del Premio Pulitzer, de una de las enfermedades más extendidas de nuestro tiempo. El emperador de todos los males es una crónica completa del cáncer desde sus orígenes hasta los modernos tratamientos (quimioterapia de diversos tipos, radioterapia y cirugía, además de la prevención) que han surgido gracias a un siglo de investigación, ensayos y pequeños avances trascendentales en muchos lugares distintos. Este libro es un repaso a la ciencia del cáncer y a la historia de los tratamientos que le han hecho frente, pero también es una reflexión sobre la enfermedad, la ética médica y las complejas y entrelazadas vidas de los oncólogos y sus pacientes. La empatía que muestra Mukherjee hacia los enfermos de cáncer y sus familias, así como hacia los médicos que muy a menudo tan pocas esperanzas les pueden ofrecer, hacen de este libro una historia llena de humanidad de una enfermedad compleja e inasible. Reseñas: «Esta obra debería valer a Mukherjee un merecido lugar en el panteón de los grandes divulgadores de nuestra era, junto a Carl Sagan, Stephen Jay Gould y Stephen Hawking.» The Boston Globe «Una magistral historia de la investigación sobre el cáncer.» Publishers Weekly

L'Empereur de toutes les maladies

release date: Sep 17, 2013
L'Empereur de toutes les maladies
La lutte contre le cancer est une histoire humaine : une aventure pleine de découvertes dues au hasard, d’opportunités saisies au bon moment mais surtout une célébration de la ténacité des hommes. Des premiers traitements chirurgicaux, novateurs mais brutaux, jusqu’aux travaux des époux Curie sur les radiations et leur dénouement tragique ; des risques démesurés pris par Sidney Farber dans sa mise au point de la chimiothérapie jusqu’à l’auteur lui-même et au traitement de ses patients, ce livre captivant retrace un combat plusieurs fois centenaire. De nos jours, alors que le cancer devient une expérience universelle, le besoin de mieux connaître notre vieil ennemi et ses traitements est plus fort que jamais. Dans ce récit exceptionnel, traduit dans trente-cinq pays et notamment récompensé par le prix Pulitzer, Siddhartha Mukherjee nous dévoile le chemin parcouru pour résoudre l’un des grands mystères de la science et nous offre un aperçu fascinant de nos progrès futurs. « Tout est en place pour une monumentale lutte scientifique, politique et humaine. Ce livre est une prouesse qui dépasse de loin la “vulgarisation scientifique”. » The Observer « Une nouvelle star dans le panthéon des grands médecins-écrivains. » Washington Post Création Studio Flammarion
