Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
Life turns on small moments, those innocuous events that appear like nothing but grow into something far more lasting, and Truman Lastinger is no different. Born into a sharecropper's family in rural Georgia, Truman had no expectation of leaving his hometown or going to college--that was not the life of a sharecropper's son--but then a local pharmacist took an interest in his future and Truman flipped a coin to meet a girl. Two small events combined to change his life--transporting him from the farm to his own pharmacy.Truman collects these moments and memories that have guided his life from a little boy hitting a flaming baseball to a pharmacist fighting for his community's right to health. In turn, this autobiography, Farming to Pharmacy: Memories of a Sharecropper's Son, recounts not only his story, but the story of the rural South, of hardships imposed on the unsuspecting, of communities struggling together, and of families surviving through the absurd, tragic, and jubilant realities of daily life.

A Brief History of Pharmacy
Author: Bob Zebroski
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317413318
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Pharmacy has become an integral part of our lives. Nearly half of all 300 million Americans take at least one prescription drug daily, accounting for $250 billion per year in sales in the US alone. And this number doesn't even include the over-the-counter medications or health aids that are taken. How did this practice become such an essential part of our lives and our health? A Brief History of Pharmacy: Humanity's Search for Wellness aims to answer that question. As this short overview of the practice shows, the search for well-being through the ingestion or application of natural products and artificially derived compounds is as old as humanity itself. From the Mesopotamians to the corner drug store, Bob Zebroski describes how treatments were sought, highlights some of the main victories of each time period, and shows how we came to be people who rely on drugs to feel better, to live longer, and look younger. This accessible survey of pharmaceutical history is essential reading for all students of pharmacy.

Book Description
Wondering what to do with all those oil drums in your yard? Does a lack of funds inspire you to race lawnmowers instead of cars, or enter cow-chip-tossing contests instead of bridge tournaments?
