Tattersall, Robert (Author)
The most authoritative and comprehensive book on the subject, written by the author of OUP’s Diabetes: The Bibliography. It is the book that Professor Tattersall has always wanted to write. It chronicles the fascinating and gruelling history of diabetes mellitus over 3000 years, and bears the title he insisted on - the "Pissing Evil" - as the disease was called in the 17th century. Both scholarly and engrossing, this rich social and medical history stands as a tribute to the countless people who suffered over the millennia, those who tried to help them, and those who stood helplessly by for so long. It holds nothing back on the role of the pharmaceutical industry, the controversies, conspiracies, false summits and breakthroughs during the 20th century.
