Description
Leading endocrinologist Professor John Wass tells the fascinating story of hormones-the well-known but little-understood chemicals that govern our bodies. He traces the history of endocrinology discoveries and misperceptions, from boy singers castrated to preserve their vocal purity, to ovary removal surgery to "cure" women of mental disorders, to the development of therapeutic insulin to treat diabetes patients. From our weight and appetite to how we grow and reproduce, hormones are a crucial part of what makes us human, even affecting how we behave and feel. They are also among the body's most powerful medicines, which Professor Wass uses every day to help people's lives. And they are crucial to cutting edge research that is tackling some of the biggest medical challenges facing our society today.
