How the Cows Turned Mad: Unlocking the Mysteries of Mad Cow Disease Tapa blanda - 2004
de Maxime Schwartz; Edward Schneider (Translator); Foreword by Marion Nestle
Descripción de contraportada
"Schwartz's fully engrossing, two-century-plus detective story provides a thoroughgoing history of the discovery of 'mad cow' and related diseases that also illuminates the ways in which science works. I could not put this book down."--Jon Beckwith, author of Making Genes, Making Waves: A Social Activist in Science
"Rarely have I read a book as scary, interesting, informative and enjoyable."--John E. Talbott, University of California, Santa Barbara
Praise for the French edition:
"Maxime Schwartz's book . . . constitutes an ode to science, to its rigor, to its perseverance, but also, as we shall see, to its modesty. How the Cows Turned Mad is a gothic historical novel: its author, molecular biologist and former director of the Pasteur Institute, leads us along a thread that unravels over almost three centuries, from Louis XV to Tony Blair."--Le Figaro
"But above all, and this is indeed remarkable in a work which treats such a scientific subject, How the Cows Turned Mad is not a scientific treatise for scientists, but rather a book. And as such, it reads easily and pleasurably."--Le Gnraliste
"How the Cows Turned Mad: that's the title of this book, almost a detective novel, just published by the molecular biologist Maxime Schwartz. An indispensable tool that allows us to sort through the truths and untruths and finally assess the situation."--Panorama du mdecin
