Reseña del libro "Free to Decide: Building a Life in Science and Medicine (en Inglés)"

A Full Life in Science and Medicine In turn quirky, hilarious, and serious, Magner's entertaining and memorable anecdotes have done for training in biology and medicine what Richard Feynman did for physics in his best-selling book, Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! Learn how a boy from small-town America is inspired by nature, finds ways to do well in college, takes baby-steps in scientific research, and navigates medical school and stressful training. He soon learns the pleasures and challenges of an academic career followed by two decades of designing international clinical trials in two pharmaceutical companies. Along the way he falls in love, and he and Glenda raise two daughters. Career and family issues are difficult at times, but humor abounds. No matter the roadblocks, Magner always finds a path forward. The book is thoughtfully structured with technical scientific information (to satisfy rigorous readers) sequestered to appendices so that the main body of the book remains easy and fun to read. This second edition has been re-edited, updated and expanded. For variety, three short chess games are discussed, and a chapter on poker strategy can be enjoyed or skipped (Magner has more than $470,000 in poker tournament winnings). Of the first edition, a key reviewer offered high praise: "...Brimming with charming anecdotes... Magner lived a very full life with no shortage of either triumph or tragedy, and the wisdom that resulted is a pleasure to read." - Kirkus Reviews
