The riveting history of tuberculosis, the world’s most lethal disease, the two men whose lives it tragically intertwined, and the birth of medical science. In 1875, tuberculosis was the deadliest disease in the world, accountable for a third of all deaths. A diagnosis of TB—often called consumption—was a death sentence. Then, in a triumph of medical science, a German doctor named Robert Koch deployed an unprecedented scientific rigor to discover the bacteria that caused TB. Koch soon embarked on a remedy—a remedy that would be his undoing. When Koch announced his cure for consumption, Arthur Conan Doyle, then a small-town doctor in England and sometime writer, went to Berlin to cover the event. Touring the ward of reportedly cured patients, he was horrified. Koch’s “remedy” was either sloppy science or outright fraud. But to a world desperate for relief, Koch’s remedy wasn’t so easily dismissed. As Europe’s consumptives descended upon Berlin, Koch urgently tried to prove his case. Conan Doyle, meanwhile, returned to England determined to abandon medicine in favor of writing. In particular, he turned to a character inspired by the very scientific methods that Koch had formulated: Sherlock Holmes. Capturing the moment when mystery and magic began to yield to science, The Remedy chronicles the stunning story of how the germ theory of disease became a true fact, how two men of ambition were emboldened to reach for something more, and how scientific discoveries evolve into social truths.

For all the talk about personalized medicine, our health care system remains a top-down, doctor-driven system where individuals are too often bit players in their own health decisions. In The Decision Tree, Thomas Goetz proposes a new strategy for thinking about health, one that applies cutting-edge technology to put us at the center of the equation and explains how the new frontier of health care can impact each of our lives.

In The Decision Tree, Thomas Goetz proposes a new strategy for thinking about health, one that applies cutting-edge technology and sound science to put us at the center of the equation. An individual’s Decision Tree begins with genomics, where $400 and a test tube of spit provides a peek at how your DNA influences your health. It taps self-monitoring and collaborative health tools, where iPhone applications and next-generation monitoring gadgets can help individuals successfully change their behavior, once and for all. And it turns to new screening techniques that detect diseases like cancer and diabetes far earlier and with far better prospects for our health. Full of thoughtful, groundbreaking reporting on the impact personalized medicine will have on the average patient, The Decision Tree will show you how to take advantage of this new frontier in health care.

Liberale in Tirol pragten zwar offenbar nicht das Bild ihres Landes, dafur aber in nicht unbetrachtlichem Masse dessen historische Realitat. Das macht Thomas Gotz sowohl fur den deutsch- als auch fur den italienischsprachigen Landesteil im 19. Jahrhundert deutlich. Das Buch untersucht die stufenweise Herausbildung burgerlicher Fuhrungsschichten in Innsbruck, Bozen, Trient und Rovereto wahrend der Hochphase der deutschen und italienischen Nationalbewegung sowie der inneren Staatsbildung Osterreichs. Die vergleichende Analyse der burgerlich-liberalen Eliten im deutsch- bzw. italienischsprachigen Tirol ist dabei auf mehreren Betrachtungsebenen angesiedelt: der sozialokonomischen Formierung und Interessenartikulation, der politischen Programmatik und parlamentarischen Praxis, der kulturellen Deutungsmuster und konfliktbeladenen nationalen Identitatsentwurfe und, nicht zuletzt, der individualbiographisch nachvollziehbaren Sozialisationswege des liberalen Burgertums. Durch die Bundelung von Burgertums-, Liberalismus- und Nationalismusforschung im bikulturellen Untersuchungsraum des habsburgischen Alt-Tirol werden zentrale Probleme der mitteleuropaischen Geschichte im "langen 19. Jahrhundert" in verdichtet-anschaulicher Weise nachvollziehbar.
