Synopsis
The bestselling "master of the medical thriller" ( The New York Times) confronts one of the most compelling issues of our time: personality-altering drugs and the complex moral questions they raise. When neuroscientist Edward Armstrong begins dating Kimberly Stewart, a descendant of a woman who was hanged as a witch at the time of the Salem witch trials, he takes advantage of the opportunity to delve into a pet theory: that the "devil" in Salem in 1692 had been a hallucinogenic drug inadvertently consumed with mold-tainted grain. In an attempt to prove his theory, Edward grows the mold he believes responsible with samples from the Stewart estate. In a brilliant designer-drug transformation, the poison becomes Ultra, the next generation of antidepressants with truly startling therapeutic capabilties. But who can be sure the drug is safe for consumers? Who defines the boundaries of "normal" human behavior? And if the drug's side effects are proven to be dangerous--even terrifying--how far will the medical community go to alter their standards of acceptable risk?, Robin Cook has always been on the cutting edge of the latest medical controversies. In Acceptable Risk , he confronts one of the most provocative issues of our time: personality-altering drugs and the complex moral questions they raise. Neuroscientist Edward Armstrong has managed to isolate a psychotropic drug with a strange and dark history--one that may account for the public hysteria during the Salem witch trials. In a brilliant designer-drug transformation, it is developed into an antidepressant with truly startling therapeutic capabilities. But who can be sure the drug is safe for consumers? Who defines the boundaries of "normal" human behavior? And if the drug's side effects are proven to be dangerous--even terrifying--how far will the medical community go to alter their standards of... Acceptable Risk .

    An easy and swift transaction from a trustworthy seller. The vinyl arrived as described, BRAND NEW & in good quality. The shipping fee was beyond fair. This is a rare jewel for a good rate. The vinyl was wrapped tighter than any package transported by Barry Seal. If you're looking for authenticity; you need not to look any further. What a wonderful experience dealing with the good folks over @Flyboyplusaviationetc #vinylsoverstreams #dabrat #brat #sosodef #giveit2you #kriskross #xscape #je #bow

Overall, I feel that I receiving fine value with my purchase; which is also enhanced by great communication during transaction, and the extra value of combined shipping. Seller is highly recommended! I can probably see myself purchasing more from this seller in the future.

    The LP I received from this seller was in fabulous condition and beyond my expectations. They were prompt in sending it to me as well. They too great care in packaging the record so it wouldn't get damaged during shipment. The value of the record was well worth the price asked and it was in better condition than described. I would certainly purchase from this seller again.
