The Emperor of All Maladies reveals the many faces of an iconic, shape-shifting disease that is the defining plague of our generation. The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance but also of hubris, arrogance, paternalism, and misperception, all leveraged against a disease that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out "war against cancer".

Superb review of the history of cancer
Revisado: 04-23-23
The historical account was near perfect in breadth and scope. The interwoven personal accounts of actual cases and the impacts on real people’s lives, including patients, physicians, researchers, friends, family, and colleagues provided a near perfect balance to the scientific narrative.

Good content, distracting narration
Revisado: 01-09-20
The narrator sounds like a female Troy McClure (a la The Simpsons). Her exaggerated intonation fluctuated between sounding comical or patronizing. That said, I was able to get used to it for the most part.
This book contains valuable information and is probably the best book on the subject out there. The narration will likely be distracting for some, but I think this book’s strengths far outweigh the narration issues.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 258
Humans are a puzzling species. On the one hand, we struggle to survive on our own in the wild, often failing to overcome even basic challenges, like obtaining food, building shelters, or avoiding predators. On the other hand, human groups have produced ingenious technologies, sophisticated languages, and complex institutions that have permitted us to successfully expand into a vast range of diverse environments. What has enabled us to dominate the globe, more than any other species, while remaining virtually helpless as lone individuals?

One of the rare accessible, paradigm-shifting books!
Revisado: 08-18-18
I think this book will appeal to both academics and the general public. However, some of the evolutionary concepts *might* require a little extra work (e.g. Wikipedia) for some non-scientific folks.
For me this book significantly shifted my perspective and understanding of the “human story” in a major and permanent way. Other books that had that level of impact on me were “Thinking Fast and Slow” by Daniel Kahneman and Jared Diamond’s “Guns, Germs, and Steel”.

Published in 1748, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is Scottish empiricist philosopher David Hume's distillation of his mature philosophy. Addressing themes including the limits of human understanding, the compatibility of free will with determinism, weaknesses in the foundations of religion, and the appeal of skepticism, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is Hume's attempt to revise and clarify the ideas of his earlier A Treatise of Human Nature.

Narration a little flat

Increasing the speed to 1.25X somehow seemed to uncover the inflection that was missing to my ear at normal speed.
