by Carl Djerassi


From the publisher

Carl Djerassi is the father of the birth control pill, developer of antihistamines, founder of chemical companies and teacher of world-class chemists. Blending descriptions of the lucrative world of drug development with controversial chapters on the politics of contraception and chapters about his personal and professional aspirations, this book tells the story of a productive and socially-conscious chemist.

First line

IT IS 3 JULY 1988 when I arrive at Vienna's Schwechat airport from San Francisco.
