From the beams of dried herbs and alcohol elixirs to high -tech drugs and multimillion -dollar business - such a way was made by drugs that we take every day.
Scientific journalist Thomas Heger decided to figure out what brilliant discoveries and random finds gave us painkillers, contraceptives and antibiotics. This book is a biography of the ten most important drugs that have changed medicine. Among them, you will not find the greatest hits, for example, penicillin or aspirin, because a lot has already been written about them. Instead, the author will introduce you to the amazing stories of less known, but no less significant drugs and show their dual nature.
You will visit the office of a medieval alchemist and a chemical laboratory, learn what you tried to treat heroin, and you will also look into the future of medicines and realize how accidental coincidences can change the lives of entire generations
