- Book 1 of 2: Stories Behind the Drugs that Changed the World
Like a time machine, this entertaining and educational drug history book will carry you to the past so that you can:
- Meet a successful charlatan who sold his secret recipe to King Louis XIV of France with 2,000 gold livre (a huge fortune in the 17th century).
- Travel with an unlucky adventurer and his faithful servant in mid-19th century in the rainforest’s dense jungles of the Andes mountains to find a cure for an ancient disease.
- See the mosquitoes with spotted wings which took millions of lives.
- Witness bright garments flooded the streets and everyone dressed like royalty from 1850s onwards, all of which was made possible because of an accidental discovery made by an 18-year-old teenager.
- Meet a scientific genius who used his magic bullet to successfully cure one of the most feared diseases in Europe for several centuries.
- Witness how one miracle drug was discovered in 1928 after an incredible chain of serendipitous events took place in succession.
- Meet three talented but quirky scientists who worked together and turned a mysterious mold into a wonder drug during World War II.
- Ultimately learn, of course, valuable medical knowledge from this book.
To keep readers engaged, I intentionally kept each story short and the book thin (only 84 pages). This book (“Magic Bullets and Beyond”) is book 1 of the series of stories behind the drugs that changed the world.
Book 2, “The Unforgettables” is available at Amazon.
Book 3, “Double-Edged Swords” (release date: TBD).
The author Guohua An is an Associate Professor in the College of Pharmacy, University of Iowa. Besides her beloved pharmaceutical research and teaching, she also loves art and writing.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
