Description
The Demon Under the Microscope: From Battlefield Hospitals to Nazi Labs, One Doctor's Heroic Search for the World's First Miracle DrugIn The Demon Under the Microscope, Thomas Hager chronicles the dramatic history of sulfa, the first antibiotic and the drug that shaped modern medicine. The Nazis discovered it. The Allies won the war with it. It conquered diseases, changed laws, and single handedly launched the era of antibiotics. Sulfa saved millions of lives among them those of Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jr. but its real effects are even more far reaching.
In The Demon Under the Microscope, Thomas Hager chronicles the dramatic history of sulfa, the first antibiotic and the drug that shaped modern medicine. The Nazis discovered it. The Allies won the war with it. It conquered diseases, changed laws, and single-handedly launched the era of antibiotics. Sulfa saved millions of lives--among them those of Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jr.--but its real effects are even more far reaching. Sulfa changed the way new drugs were developed, approved, and sold; transformed the way doctors treated patients; and ushered in the era of modern medicine. The very concept that chemicals created in a lab could cure disease revolutionized medicine, taking it from the treatment of symptoms and discomfort to the eradication of the root cause of illness. A strange and colorful story, The Demon Under the Microscope illuminates the vivid characters, corporate strategy, individual idealism, careful planning, lucky breaks, cynicism, heroism, greed, hard work, and the central (though mistaken) idea that brought sulfa to the world. This is a fascinating scientific tale with all the excitement and intrigue of a great suspense novel.Binding Type: Paperback

Just Love this.... Read On!
Color: Silver, Memory Storage Capacity: 128 GB, Set name: Wi-Fi + Cellular
Like knew and seems to have been powered on one time only. Apple treat it as a new device.
Its spotless and works great.
I have had several ipad pro's and decided to by this instead and I actually prefer it. It does everything I could do with my ipad pro 2020 and then some. Its faster, good cameras. The e-sim card works great though I do wish it had a physical sim card slow.. oh well!
The battery life is really excellent, it was quick to set up via a transfer from my old device. I added a case that looks like a fancy note book and love it. This helps with drops and scratches. I have not added a screen protector yet.
The storage capacity is the same as my old ipad pro, I will never use 128 gb anyways...
To sum up, this gets 10 out of 10... and its a great replacement for a ipad pro!

Good quality, good price, bad shipping tho
Color: Silver, Memory Storage Capacity: 128 GB, Set name: Wi-Fi
Honestly I was really happy with the iPad. The one I got was RENEWED in Excellent quality. I will start off by saying that it was poorly packaged during shipping and the iPad box was severely damaged, but luckily my iPad was just fine. The iPad came decently, but not fully, charged and was quick and easy to set up. The battery life does not last as long as my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, but I am also sure I do not have it optimized for battery saving. I got this iPad for 2 reasons. 1) To be a pseduo laptop with a keyboard case for school, and 2) procreate. I am overall happy with the item. I'm just sad I found a better deal on the exact same model sold at Walmart and its in pink (;-;). The item functions well, and is as described, it was a really good deal
