Journalist and healthcare advocate Christofferson looks at medicine through a magnifying glass and asks an important question: What if the roots of the current U.S. healthcare crisis are psychological and systemic, perpetuated not just by corporate influence and the powers that be, but by citizens?
"In the wake of the Cancer Genome Atlas project's failure to provide a legible road map to a cure for cancer, science writer Travis Christofferson illuminates a promising blend of old and new perspectives on the disease. 'Tripping Over the Truth' follows the story of cancers proposed metabolic origin from the vaunted halls of the German scientific golden age, to modern laboratories around the world. The reader is taken on a journey through time and science that results in an unlikely connecting of the dots with profound therapeutic implications." --Cover.
