Paperback. Condition: Good. Strange Medicine provides a believe-it-or-not journey around the world, exploring the use and misuse of medicinal plants, heavy metals, dyes, and chemicals. The author describes how physicians made their own pills, casts, and elixirs, and cared for their own leeches. The section on birth defects may cause alarm, though Kienholz quotes statistics showing the small percentage of infants born with the problems described. Her list of known causes of defects, though incomplete, is equivalent to a U.S. surgeon general's warning on cigarettes-in that the pharmaceuticals listed should be avoided during pregnancy. Chapters are devoted to cultic use of plant drugs, fraud, and the struggle against syphilis. The book is an expose of failed experiments, but recognizes the contributions primitive medicine men made to modern medicine. Those curious enough to tolerate a discussion of malarial parasites and parasitic worms-from the prolific tapeworm to the loa loa that visits the eyes of human hosts-will find the Hosts and Hostages chapter at times repulsive. But it serves as a warning on the dangers of traveling in countries that host these parasites. Strange Medicine is not for the queasy, but intended for the curious and those who wonder where it all began.…

Paperback. Condition: New. 1st. How the NIH Can Help You Get Funded takes a novel, non-formulaic approach in teaching readers how to "write a grant" -- and much more. The authors draw on their decades of experience working with both investigators and NIH personnel to anticipate their questions and concerns and help establish a comfortable, productive partnership between them. With this book's focus on applying this knowledge to their personal grant strategy, readers will learn: · how the NIH operates at the corporate level, as well as the culture and policies of individual institutes and centers· how the NIH budget evolves over the course of a fiscal year and why the timing is important· how to customize NIH Web site searches and use the data to increase chances of success· how to identify appropriate program officers, study sections, and funding opportunitiesThe authors advise readers on developing each component of the grant application in order of the components' influence on the final impact score. Individual funding mechanisms are reviewed along with grantsmanship tips specific to each. Readers learn the importance of reviewer-friendly formatting and organization of the text.The final chapters cover next steps after the application has been submitted-before, during, and after the review and funding decision. Strategies for resubmitting or repurposing applications are provided for those readers whose applications do not receive awards. The authors likewise anticipate the needs of readers who do receive funding but have questions on managing and maintaining their award.Amid ever-increasing competition for government research grants, How the NIH Can Help You Get Funded is an invaluable manual for how to pursue -- and sustain -- NIH funding.…
