The art and politics of science
This memoir chronicles one man's series of remarkable careers, as well as some of the central health-policy issues of our time. The author, Harold Varmus, didn't decide that he was drawn to medicine until he was one year into a PhD in English literature. Changing course, he drove headfirst into medical school, shifted shortly after graduating from practice to research, and soon found himself at the forefront of cancer research on his way towards a Nobel Prize in Medicine.
