Never before has a comprehensive history of the pancreas like
History of the Pancreas been published. It not only is a historical
review of the science of medicine, it is liberally interspersed
with anecdotal vignettes of the researchers who have worked on this
organ. Much of it, such as the discovery of the duct of Wirsung, of
the islets of Langerhans, of insulin, gastrin and their tumors,
reads like the adverture, which it is. This book, divided into 14
chapters, is written in a narrative style and is easily readable,
as glimpses of the investigators, those who failed as well as those
who succeeded, adds both perspective and human interest. Each
chapter is completely referenced, totaling over 1500 references. As
a reference book for students, teachers, investigators, writers,
its detailed hjistorical documentation is unique. From the
pre-Christian era of Asia Minor, to Greece, Rome, Europe and
America, to the explosive progress in Japan, the history is there.
History of the Pancreas: Mysteries of a Hidden Organ fills a gap.
