Thomas Hager
Beginning with opium, the "joy plant," which has been used for 10,000 years, Hager's subjects include the largely forgotten female pioneer who introduced smallpox inoculation to Britain; the infamous knockout drops; the first antibiotic, which saved countless lives; the first antipsychotic, which helped empty public mental hospitals; Viagra, statins; and the new frontier of monoclonal antibodies.
