An insider's take on the world of marketing and how to successfully navigate it at any stage.
In 1922, researchers made one of the most important medical breakthroughs of the century: insulin. Their discovery seemed miraculous. When it was given to diabetic patients on the brink of death, their condition rapidly improved.However, this was no simple cure. Injections must be taken for life. Without them, symptoms quickly return, often with fatal results. But while a lifetime on insulin poses great challenges, it also offers opportunities. In this revelatory history, Stuart Bradwel looks back on one of medicine's most celebrated innovations. Setting professional narrative against subjective patient experience, he tells the story of a drug that has challenged many of the basic assumptions upon which medical practice is built, both inside and outside the clinic.Nevertheless, Bradwel reminds us that the centenary of this apparent "wonder drug" should be no cause for celebration. Insulin often remains inaccessible to those who need it most: elusive prescriptions, uneven availability and sky-high prices result in rationing and desperate do-it-yourself research and development. In the face of bootstraps rhetoric and "Pharma Bro" capitalists, patients across the world are left to fend for themselves. There is a long way to go in the twenty-first century until insulin truly fulfills the extraordinary promises made by its discovery.Mostra libro

You went to school and you learned about various subjects. You learned about math, science, history, how to read and write along with other things. Wonderful! However, what the school system neglected to teach you about is the subject of MONEY. They never taught you what money truly represents; where it comes from, how to manage it, how to invest it and how to save it. Sure they may have reviewed some of the basics, but of course that wasn’t enough and as a result you fail at the money game. You don’t know how to save or invest and you are over leveraged on your credit cards. In fact according to statistics the average U.S. household credit card debt stands at $15,185 with 45 million Americans having outstanding balances of $10,000 or more. Practically all of these people went through the school system yet they are financially in trouble and in debt because they were never truly taught about money in school. In his book entitled “What They Didn’t Teach You in School About Money” Omar Johnson gives you the necessary information that will enable you to overcome your money ignorance. You will learn how to manage your money, how to invest and save it, how to make more of it and much much more.Mostra libro
