Specifikacia Breath from Salt
Recommended by Bill Gates and included in GatesNotesLonglisted for the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing AwardElaborating on the science as well as the business behind the fight against cystic fibrosis, Trivedi captures the emotions of the families, doctors, and scientists involved in the clinical trials and their 'weeping with joy' as new drugs are approved, and shows how cystic fibrosis, once a 'death sentence, ' became, for many, a manageable condition. This is a rewarding and challenging work. --Publishers WeeklyCystic fibrosis was once a mysterious disease that killed infants and children. Now it could be the key to healing millions with genetic diseases of every type--from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's to diabetes and sickle cell anemia.
