--"American Scientist"
The cataclysmic clash of medical ideas and personalities comes
to colorful life
In this follow-up to the critically acclaimed "Great Feuds in
Science" (Wiley: 0-471-16980-3), Hal Hellman tells the stories of
the ten most heated and important disputes of medical science.
Featuring a mix of famous and lesser-known stories, "Great Feuds in
Medicine" includes the fascinating accounts of William Harvey's
battle with the medical establishment over his discovery of the
circulation of blood; Louis Pasteur's fight over his theory of
germs; and the nasty dispute between American Robert Gallo and
French researcher Luc Montagnier over who discovered the HIV virus.
An informative and insightful look at how such medical
controversies are not only typical, but often necessary to the
progress of the science.
