<DIV><DIV><B>With the fascinating scholarship of <I>The Emperor of All Maladies</I> and the deeply personal experience of <I>When Breath Becomes Air</I>, a world-class oncologist examines the current state of cancer and its devastating impact on the individuals it affects -- including herself.</B></DIV><DIV><br></DIV><DIV>In <I>The First Cell</I>, Azra Raza offers a searing account of how both medicine and our society (mis)treats cancer, how we can do better, and why we must. A lyrical journey from hope to despair and back again, <I>The First Cell</I> explores cancer from every angle: medical, scientific, cultural, and personal. Indeed, Raza describes how she bore the terrible burden of being her own husband''s oncologist as he succumbed to leukemia. Like <I>When Breath Becomes Air</I>, <I>The First Cell </I>is no ordinary book of medicine, but a book of wisdom and grace by an author who has devoted her life to making the unbearable easier to bear.</DIV></DIV>
