>From Augustine to the contemporary theologians at the Vatican

> How cancers begin and spread, by the scientist responsible for the major recent research breakthroughs
> Cancer research has reached a major turning point. The amount of information gathered in the past twenty years about the origins of the disease is without equal in the history of biomedical research. In this book one of America's most eminent scientists explains to the general reader the step-by-step process by which cancers arise, and more importantly, how they spread.
