8vo. viii, 319 pp. Illus., index. Quarter black gilt-stamped cloth, paper boards, dust-jacket; small remainder mark on bottom edge, else fine. ISBN: 0465057594 "Father of the birth control pill, developer of antihistamines, founder of biomedical companies, teacher of world-class chemists, best-selling novelist. . . As The Scientist notes, "Few can match Carl Djerassi's juggling act for success and longevity." Here is Djerassi's remarkable autobiography. Blending vivid descriptions of the lucrative world of drug development with controversial chapters on the politics of contraception and poignant disclosures about his personal life, this book tells the story of one of the most productive and socially conscious chemists working today. The Pill, Pygmy Chimps, and Degas' Horse chronicles Djerassi's many successful careers in science, business, the academy, and the arts (he is a published poet and novelist, as well as the founder of an artists' colony). His growing appreciation for the soft side of science - its human and humane aspects - have long been reflected in the courses he teaches at Stanford, in the plot of his novel, Cantor's Dilemma, and in his decision to found one of the first environmentally aware pesticide companies. In this intellectually challenging book, the reader is let into the fertile mind and psyche of one of the few Renaissance men of twentieth-century science." / Jacket. "Carl Djerassi, who is a scientist, artist, philosopher and mensch all in one, has produced the very best of scientific autobiography. . . Read this book." / Stephen Jay Gould. "Delightfully unconventional. . . hilarious and wide-ranging." / Arthur C. Clarke.

Condition: NUOVO. Palermo, Sellerio Ed. cm.12x16,5, pp.174, brossura con sopraccoperta figurata a colori. Collana La Memoria,292. L'elettricista emigrato che beffa un raffinato tedesco collezionista di quadri futuristi; il chimico delle lacrime che ne scopre la vera composizione umana; la doppia frode del caso ai danni di un premio Nobel; lo strano dirigente industriale che getta il panico dell'incomunicabilità nella casa del collega; quando la falsità di un evento mitico dell'adolescenza si presenta d'improvviso; e altri racconti brevi. Carl Djerassi è un importante scienziato (chimico farmacologo di fama, inventore della prima pillola anticoncezionale) datosi, in questi rapidi e intelligenti resoconti di fatti minimi e invisibilmente catastrofici, alla finzione letteraria. E, come spesso capita a chi scruta la natura attraverso la regolarità ineccepibile del laboratorio, vi ha versato un atteggiamento narrativo che potrebbe dirsi di imperturbabilità democritea: considerare le vicende quotidiane degli uomini come un innocuo affannarsi a disporre le cose in un certo modo, fino al momento in cui quello che sembra il caso indifferente le scompiglia di nuovo, ovvero le rimette al loro corso naturale. E all'agguato di questi momenti, i racconti di Djerassi conducono il lettore con indulgente ironia. Traduzione di A.Crespi Bortolini.
