It not only is a historical review of the science of medicine, it is liberally interspersed with anecdotal vignettes of the researchers who have worked on this organ. Much of it, such as the discovery of the duct of Wirs ng, of the islets of Langerhans, of insulin, gastrin and their tumors, reads like the adverture, which it is.
