Under the impression of the failed efforts of the International Cancer Genome Project to devise a coherent strategy for curing cancer, nonfiction author Travis Christofferson sheds light on a promising fusion of old and new perspectives on the disease. "Paradigm Shift" traces the history of the metabolic theory of cancer development—from the venerable halls of the Golden Age of Science in Germany to the laboratories of the 21st century around the globe. The reader is invited on a journey through the history of science that leads to a surprising convergence and reevaluation of findings—with profound implications for cancer therapy. This masterful synthesis of the history of science and current research results casts new light on humanity's darkest diagnosis.
