Hess has clearly demonstrated the valuable role that social scientists can have in offering a neutral perspective on medical research and how it is shaped by cultural bias."" --Townsend Letter ""Hess has made a careful study of one of the most intriguing themes that weaves through the recent history of unconventional approaches to cancer.
