Americans take millions of aspirin each year, little dreaming that the seemingly ordinary pill is one of the most amazing creations in medical history.
Aspirin is a drug so astonishingly versatile that it can relieve your headache, ease your aching limbs, lower your temperature, and treat some of the deadliest human diseases, preventing everything from heart attacks to cancer to strokes. And the history of the drug is just as surprising.
Rich in dramatic twists and discoveries, the story of aspirin begins in ancient Egypt, and embraces wars, epidemics, espionage, an Oxfordshire vicar, a forgotten Jewish scientist, the Industrial Revolution, a common tree, the Treaty of Versailles, the world's most powerful pharmaceutical companies, Auschwitz, a mercurial advertising genius, and much more. Bringing alive a compelling cast of characters in a dazzling journey across centuries, the author reveals how chance and design brought the drug into being as we know it at the end of the nineteenth century, and how intrigue, greed, and ambition combined to make aspirin one of the most commercially successful products of all time.

读后感
这本书很多地方专有名词翻译有点问题。 阿司匹林虽然是非处方药，但是还是必须在医生或药剂师指导下服用。 规范使用： 1、不能同时服用其他含有解热镇痛药的药品。不宜与抗凝血药及溶栓药（链激酶），抗酸药如碳酸氢钠，降糖药及甲氨蝶呤同用。与糖皮...
评分 评分相信读者看出来这本书绕不开阿司匹林商业化的引擎来自德国的拜耳医药。但是，这本书不仅仅是阿司匹林，而对乙酰氨基酚的，布洛芬等的介绍依旧是医学和科学进步的内容。这些竞争对手没有被重墨记述是因为相对历史久远，作用丰富的阿司匹林，上述两味仅仅是配角角色。 对科学和商...
评分从遥远的古埃及到21世纪的医药行业的斗争，看起来真是颇有点穿越的感觉，不过也有点波澜壮阔。阿司匹林看起来更像是一个载体，作者很多的笔墨在描述拜耳公司啊。在阿司匹林命运的多个转折点，拜耳都起到了关键作用。 作为科普历史读物，我觉得这本书挺不错的。
评分如果有人把阿司匹林与核能的发现利用相提并论，你会同意吗？ 33233名医生亲身参与的试验；与阿司匹林的命运休戚相关的科学家，医生，商人，政客之命运；当然还有拜耳公司百年来的兴衰沉浮，。。。 全书故事跌宕起伏，翻译信达雅，六星推荐！
