Snake Oil and Other PreoccupationsVintage, 2001 - 285 sivua At the time of his death from cancer on 1 March 2001, journalist and broadcaster John Diamond had completed six chapters of what was to be an uncomplimentary look at the world of complementary medicine. These chapters, based on his own experience and on researched fact, which were emailed each week to his editors at Random House, are both personal and poignant, hard hitting and controversial, tackling the issues raised by alternative medicine with total candour and his usual wit. |
