Medicating Modern America: Prescription Drugs in History

Description

Review

“Their excellent example of balanced analysis should inspire other scholars to pursue further work in the new pharmaceutical history.”
- Gregory J. Higby, The Journal of American History

”These challenging essays mark the transformation of medication from a tradition of need assessed by physicians, to a culture that far exceeds a basic threshold for drugs on demand on the part of the public.”
- Choice

"Nowhere do pharmaceutical companies sell more drugs, make more money, affect more lives, or wield more power than in the United States. These sophisticated but accessible essays trace the history of eight types of prescription blockbusters, from antibiotics to Viagra, and show how they have changed Americans' thinking about disease, consumer rights, and normality itself. They force us to confront the paradox of a pill-taking society that wages war on some drugs but avidly seeks out others to economically profitable if not always therapeutically benign effect."
- David Courtwright, author of Forces of Habit and Dark Paradise

”A set of fascinating case studies. . . . Anyone who has taken prescription medications can benefit by reading it.”
- Metapsychology Online Reviews
