Su questo libro

Recensione:

Brain Storms is an important and compelling read. I have a shelf full of books on Parkinson’s disease, but this is the first one I could actually call a can’t-put-it-down page-turner. (Andy Barrie, journalist and former host of Metro Morning on CBC Radio One in Toronto)

Award-winning journalist Palfreman’s fast-paced, captivating, and crisp narrative of patients, doctors, and researchers is part scientific investigation, part medical detective story, and part memoir, and it opens wide a window into the world of Parkinson’s. (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

Through keen and captivating storytelling, Jon Palfreman expertly shares the many challenges and opportunities that surround Parkinson’s research, and gives credit to the people who have made drug discovery and development possible-most of all the individuals living with the disease. (Todd Sherer, PhD, CEO of The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research)
