Pioneering Women in Medicine and the Medical Sciences
Today it's no longer strange to hear of a woman doctor; and yet, though progress has certainly been made, there is still work to be done if women are to truly be treated equally in the field of medicine. On March 10, 2000, the first reported conference about women in medicine and the sciences was held at Stanford University School of Medicine. Interestingly enough, though a woman, Dr. Linda Shortliffe, spearheaded the symposium, it was suggested by a man, Dr. Gerald Friedland, after he became more sensitive to discrimination when his wife and daughter became physicians. Twelve years later Dr. Leah Dickstein informed Dr. Friedland she had a video of the conference, giving birth to the idea for the inspiring and informative guide Pioneering Women in Medicine and the Medical Sciences. The two physicians, along with Dr. Jennifer Tender, edited chapters authored by fifteen modern female medical professionals, with an aim to further advocate for women in medicine. Filled with history and biographies, as well as insights on the barriers women still face today, this book serves as an invaluable resource to anyone interested in medical history or pursuing a career in medicine.
Medicine's 10 Greatest Discoveries
In 1675, Antony van Leeuwenhoek, an unlearned haberdasher from Delft, placed a drop of rainwater under his microscope and detected thousands of tiny animals in it. Leeuwenhoek proceeded to examine the microscopic activity of his spittle, teeth plaque, and feces, and as the result of his findings the field of bacteriology was born. Some two hundred years later, Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Wurzburg, invited his wife to his laboratory, asked her to place her hand on an unexposed photographic plate, turned on an electric current, and showed this terrified woman a picture of the bones of her hand. And so came the discovery of the X-ray. This ab...

Killer Germs
Everything readers ever wanted to know about deadly viruses, killer parasites, flesh-eating microbes, and other lifethreatening beasties but were afraid to ask What disease, known as "the White Death" has killed 2 billion people, and counting? What fatal disease lurks undetected in air conditioners and shower heads, waiting to become airborne? How lethal is the Ebola virus, and will there ever be a cure for it? How do you catch flesh-eating bacteria? Killer Germs takes readers on a fascinating (sometimes horrifying) journey into the amazing world of viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and worms and explores the roles they have played in shaping the course of human history. From biblical plagues, to the AIDS crisis, to supergerms of the future, this updated and revised edition of the original covers the whole gamut of diseases that have threatened humanity since its origins. It also includes a new chapter on the history of bioterrorism and the deplorable role it has played and is likely to play in the phenomenal diversity of diseases.
