  1. 1. Slaying The Tiger

    A Year Inside the Ropes on the New Tournament Chess Circuit

    A sweeping medical and social history that traces humanity’s struggle with diabetes from ancient accounts and early, often brutal treatments to the breakthrough discovery of insulin and the scientific, political and personal dramas that accompanied it; the book follows physicians, researchers and patients through controversies over credit and commercialization, evolving therapies and the rise of modern research into immunology and transplantation, while conveying how medical knowledge, public perception and patient experience shaped — and continue to shape — the ongoing quest to understand and ultimately cure the disease.
