Drug Discovery: A History

by Walter Sneader

Written by a leading authority with an excellent reputation, and ability for writing a good narrative, Drug Discovery: A History is a far cry from simply a list of chemical structures. This lively new text considers the origins, development and history of medicines that generate high media interest and have a huge social and economic impact on society. Set within a wide historical, social and cultural context, it provides expanded coverage of pre-twentieth century drugs, the huge advances made in the twentieth century and the latest developments in drug research. Features: Also available in paperback.

As seen in Nature Chemistry .

Although I admit "microfont tome" is not very encouraging.
