Description

A Venetian family cursed with terminal insomnia, cannibal tribes stricken by a mysterious epidemic, and the terrors, both real and imagined, of Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (commonly known as 'Mad Cow Disease'), are a few of the strange medical nightmares that appear in D.T. Max's fascinating nonfiction account of the history of prion disease. A prion, a non-living rogue protein that wreaks havoc on the brain, is one of the least understood agents in medical science, and D.T. Max skillfully tells the story of what prions do, and how they were discovered.
