The Fantastical World of Hormones
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.
