You will be hooked from start to finish, as you go from the labs, where obsessive, fiercely competitive scientists struggle for a breakthrough, to Wall Street, where the wheeling and dealing takes on a life of its own, as Boger courts investors and finally decides to take Vertex public. Here is a fascinating no-holds-barred account of the business of science, which includes an updated epilogue about the most recent developments in the quest for a drug to cure AIDS.Item Height: 214mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 33mmItem Weight: 415gRelease Year: 1995 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
