Summary:	"This fascinating history recounts the discovery of cortisone and pulls the curtain back on the peculiar cast of characters responsible for its advent, including two enigmatic scientists, Edward Kendall and Phillip Hench, who went on to receive the Nobel prize. The book also explores the key role the Mayo Clinic played in fostering cortisone's development , and looks at drugs that owe their heritage to the so-called 'King of Steroids.'"--Back cover
