About the Book:

“Far-reaching and highly relevant…[with] a fast pace, global scope and jaw-dropping facts…Fishman has a keen ear…and he motors enjoyably through a huge quantity of date and anecdotes, sending out provocative flares along the way.” –New York Times Book Review

“If I could choose one book this year as required reading for medical students and colleagues, this would be it. No, I take that back. Add undergrads to the list. They might as well get ready too. Fasten your seatbelts, kids. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.” –The Los Angeles Times
