The Discovery of Insulin

by Michael Bliss

McClelland & Stewart | April 20, 1996 | Trade Paperback

The discovery of insulin at the University of Toronto in 1921 resulted in international acclaim and the Nobel Prize for Medicine-- but few awards have generated more controversy. The Discovery of Insulin reveals the intense and sometimes violent confrontations that arose within the research team of Banting, Best, Collip and Macloed. More dramatic than fiction, Michael Bliss reconstructs the award-winning story in this special anniversary edition.

I found this book to be useless and uninformative. Michael Bliss is a horrible author. Go back to school!
