{"product_id":"9781615926503","title":"From Caracas to Stockholm: A Life in Medical Science","description":"From Booklist:\u003cbr\u003e\"Benacerraf, a 1980 Nobel laureate for his work in immunology, has lived in Venezuela, France, and the U.S. His autobiography is the fascinating account of a perceptive, forceful individual who can admit making mistakes and has no qualms about stating his beliefs. His discussion of the damage wrought on America by the 1968 student revolution is thought-provoking. As a Jew, he saw his applications rejected by top U.S. medical schools because of their quota systems (later he served on the faculty of two of them and turned down the invitations of several others). Born into wealth, Benacerraf was early exposed to the arts and humanities and later had a stint as a banker. Personal interests and good teachers led him to science and medicine and a successful career in laboratory investigation and medical administration. He writes clearly, with humor, and to the point, so that the reader's questions are answered in the next sentence or paragraph. A remarkable, appealing autobiography.\"","brand":"Prometheus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139239657712,"sku":"9781615926503","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781615926503_p0.jpg?v=1769904132","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781615926503","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
