Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Extraordinary Story Of The Naziera Scientific Genius Who Discovered How Cancer Cells Eatand What It Means For How We Should.The Nobel Laureate Otto Warburga Cousin Of The Famous Finance Warburgswas Widely Regarded In His Day As One Of The Most Important Biochemists Of The Twentieth Century, A Man Whose Research Was Integral To Humanitys Understanding Of Cancer. He Was Also Among The Most Despised Figures In Nazi Germany. As A Jewish Homosexual Living Openly With His Male Partner, Warburg Represented All That The Third Reich Abhorred. Yet Hitler And His Top Advisors Dreaded Cancer, And Protected Warburg In The Hope That He Could Cure It.In Ravenous, Sam Apple Reclaims Otto Warburg As A Forgotten, Morally Compromised Genius Who Pursued Cancer Singlemindedly Even As Europe Disintegrated Around Him. While The Vast Majority Of Jewish Scientists Fled Germany In The Anxious Years Leading Up To World War Ii, Warburg Remained In Berlin, Working Under The Watchful Eye Of The Dictatorship. With The Nazis Goosestepping Their Way Across Europe, Systematically Rounding Up And Murdering Millions Of Jews, Warburg Awoke Each Morning In An Elegant, Antiquesfilled Home And Rode Horses With His Partner, Jacob Heiss, Before Delving Into His Research At The Kaiser Wilhelm Society.Hitler And Other Nazi Leaders, Apple Shows, Were Deeply Troubled By Skyrocketing Cancer Rates Across The Western World, Viewing Cancer As An Existential Threat Akin To Judaism Or Homosexuality. Ironically, They Viewed Warburg As Germanys Best Chance Of Survival. Setting Warburgs Work Against An Absorbing History Of Cancer Science, Apple Follows Him As He Arrives At His Central Belief That Cancer Is A Problem Of Metabolism. Though Warburgs Metabolic Approach To Cancer Was Considered Groundbreaking, His Work Was Soon Eclipsed In The Early Postwar Era, After The Discovery Of The Structure Of Dna Set Off A Search For The Genetic Origins Of Cancer.Remarkably, Warburgs Theory Has Undergone A Resurgence In Our Own Time, As Scientists Have Begun To Investigate The Dangers Of Sugar And The Link Between Obesity And Cancer, Finding That The Way We Eat Can Influence How Cancer Cells Take Up Nutrients And Grow. Rooting His Revelations In Extensive Archival Research As Well As Dozens Of Interviews With Todays Leading Cancer Authorities, Apple Demonstrates How Warburgs Midcentury Work May Well Hold The Secret To Why Cancer Became So Common In The Modern World And How We Can Reverse The Trend. A Tale Of Scientific Discovery, Personal Peril, And The Race To End A Disastrous Disease, Ravenous Would Be The Stuff Of The Most Inventive Fiction Were It Not, In Fact, True. 15 Blackandwhite Images
