Requests:  0 Summary:  The 1949 discovery of lithium as a cure for bipolar disorder is perhaps one of the most important breakthroughs of the modern era. Brown reveals two unlikely success stories: that of John Cade, the physician whose discovery would come to save an untold number of lives and launch a pharmacological revolution, and that of a miraculous metal rescued from decades of stigmatization. Following his own restless curiosity, Cade did not have to answer to an external funding source; the pharmaceutical industry had little incentive to promote a naturally occurring drug that could not be patented. Brown reveals just how close we came to passing over this extraordinary cure. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 616.89506 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.89506 Brown Checked In Add Copy to MyList
