Description
The Demon Under the Microscope: From Battlefield Hospitals to Nazi Labs, One Doctor's Heroic Search for the World's First Miracle DrugIn The Demon Under the Microscope, Thomas Hager chronicles the dramatic history of sulfa, the first antibiotic and the drug that shaped modern medicine. The Nazis discovered it. The Allies won the war with it. It conquered diseases, changed laws, and single handedly launched the era of antibiotics. Sulfa saved millions of lives among them those of Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jr. but its real effects are even more far reaching.
In The Demon Under the Microscope, Thomas Hager chronicles the dramatic history of sulfa, the first antibiotic and the drug that shaped modern medicine. The Nazis discovered it. The Allies won the war with it. It conquered diseases, changed laws, and single-handedly launched the era of antibiotics. Sulfa saved millions of lives--among them those of Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jr.--but its real effects are even more far reaching. Sulfa changed the way new drugs were developed, approved, and sold; transformed the way doctors treated patients; and ushered in the era of modern medicine. The very concept that chemicals created in a lab could cure disease revolutionized medicine, taking it from the treatment of symptoms and discomfort to the eradication of the root cause of illness. A strange and colorful story, The Demon Under the Microscope illuminates the vivid characters, corporate strategy, individual idealism, careful planning, lucky breaks, cynicism, heroism, greed, hard work, and the central (though mistaken) idea that brought sulfa to the world. This is a fascinating scientific tale with all the excitement and intrigue of a great suspense novel.Binding Type: Paperback

Great Vest
this golf vest is amazing. It’s very well-made. It fits well, I’m a double X and I’m 62 and a slice of pizza from 230 pounds. I just love it and plan to buy more. I believe it’s gonna wear very well, but I’ll let you all know in a month or two after I’ve worn it a couple times and washed it a couple times.

As Advertised!
Product arrived promptly & well-packaged (shrink wrapped packaged & enclosed inside additional box). Golf vest was received "as advertised" & appears to be of good quality. Vest was fairly priced & is very comfy, lightweight, stylish & wrinkle resistant. Purchased as a gift for my adult son for his future golf adventures. Size/fit will need to be determined by my son when he prepares for his next golf outing. Very pleased with my purchase & will consider additional purchases from seller in the future.

Great vest
Color: Dark Grey, Size: X-Large
This lil vest is awesome. A little thicker than I expected but perfect for my cool office. Looks like it cost twice as much. I had my company info put on it and looks like it cost 150.
