New Haven: Yale University Press, 2014. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket). 320 pp. In 1997, Prusiner received a Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. His struggle to identify the agent responsible for ravaging the brains of animals suffering from scrapie and mad cow disease, and of humans with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, had been waged largely alone and in some cases in the face of strenuous disagreement.
