Описание: The Only book you will ever need to learn about The Pill and the people who brought it to life.
2010 commemorated the 50th anniversary of the approval of the oral contraceptive pill by the Food and Drug Administration. The history and the development of the oral contraceptive pill are rich in drama--cultural, financial, scientific, spiritual, and political. Dr. David Hislop recounts it all here in this detailed account of the birth of the pill and the fascinating roster of characters who contributed to it.
Beginning with the reforms of Margaret Sanger and the barriers of the Comstock laws, this comprehensive book includes perspectives on the biologists, Gregory Pincus and Min-Chueh Chang, the chemist Russell Marker, the philanthropist Katharine McCormick, the journalist and politician, Ernest Gruening and finally obstetrician and gynecologist John Rock. Considering the legal, social, scientific and religious barriers that led to the eventual government approval, The People Who Made the Pill is the definitive resource on this critical component of our cultural fabric.
Автор: Johnson Boris Название: Johnson`s Life of London: The People Who Made the City That Made the World ISBN: 1594631468 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781594631467 Издательство: Random House (USA) Цена: 11650.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The exhilarating story of how London came to be one of the most exciting and influential places on earth--from the city's colorful, witty, and well-known mayor.
Once a swampland that the Romans could hardly be bothered to conquer, over the centuries London became an incomparably vibrant metropolis that has produced a steady stream of ingenious, original, and outsized figures who have shaped the world we know. Boris Johnson, the internationally beloved mayor of London, is the best possible guide to these colorful characters and the history in which they played such lively roles. Erudite and entertaining, he narrates the story of London as a kind of relay race. Beginning with the days when "a bunch of pushy Italian immigrants" created Londinium, he passes the torch on down through the famous and the infamous, the brilliant and the bizarre--from Hadrian to Samuel Johnson to Winston Churchill to the Rolling Stones--illuminating with unforgettable clarity the era each inhabited. He also pauses to shine a light on innovations that have contributed to the city's incomparable vibrancy, from the King James Bible to the flush toilet. As wildly entertaining as it is informative, this is an irresistible account of the city and people that in large part shaped the world we know.
