Like a time machine, this entertaining and educational drug history book will carry you to the past so that you can:
- Meet a successful charlatan who sold his secret recipe to King Louis XIV of France with 2,000 gold livre (a huge fortune in the 17th century).
- Travel with an unlucky adventurer and his faithful servant in mid-19th century in the rainforest’s dense jungles of the Andes mountains to find a cure for an ancient disease.
- See the mosquitoes with spotted wings which took millions of lives.
- Witness bright garments flooded the streets and everyone dressed like royalty from 1850s onwards, all of which was made possible because of an accidental discovery made by an 18-year-old teenager.
- Meet a scientific genius who used his magic bullet to successfully cure one of the most feared diseases in Europe for several centuries.
- Witness how one miracle drug was discovered in 1928 after an incredible chain of serendipitous events took place in succession.
- Meet three talented but quirky scientists who worked together and turned a mysterious mold into a wonder drug during World War II.
- Ultimately learn, of course, valuable medical knowledge from this book.
To keep readers engaged, I intentionally kept each story short and the book thin (only 84 pages). This book (“Magic Bullets and Beyond”) is book 1 of the series of stories behind the drugs that changed the world.
Book 2, “The Unforgettables” is available at Amazon.
Book 3, “Double-Edged Swords” (release date: TBD).
The author Guohua An is an Associate Professor in the College of Pharmacy, University of Iowa. Besides her beloved pharmaceutical research and teaching, she also loves art and writing.
