Description - The Story of Taxol by Jordan Goodman
Taxol is arguably the most celebrated, talked about and controversial natural product in recent years. It is celebrated because of its efficacy as an anticancer drug and because its discovery has provided powerful support for policies concerned with biodiversity; talked about because in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the American public was bombarded with news reports and special programs about the molecule and its host, the Pacific yew; and controversial because during the early 1990s the drug and the tree became embroiled in a number of very sensitive political issues with wide implications for the conduct of public policy. The Story of Taxol tells this story.
