Beyond Pain: The Role of Pleasure and Culture in the Making of Foreign Affairs Book

I liked this one more than the math feuds, possibly because it was less technical, but also because I hadn't already read most of it. Half of the "feuds" though aren't one to one standoffs but one man's theory struggling against the current medical advice. Lots of interesting controversies, however, my favorite was the tragedy of Rosalind Franklin being lost of the history of science in favor of Watson, Crick, and Wilkins, simply because men found her frank nature harsh in a woman. And we owe much to the little known Semmelweis whose ideas about sanitation would have saved many more lives if they had been taken seriously before Pasteur promoted them many years later.
