520    This book is a highly readable and entertaining account of
       the co-evolution of the patent system and the life science
       industries since the mid-19th century. The pharmaceutical 
       industries have their origins in advances in synthetic 
       chemistry and in natural products research. Both 
       approaches to drug discovery and business have shaped 
       patent law, as have the lobbying activities of the firms 
       involved and their supporters in the legal profession. In 
       turn, patent law has impacted on the life science 
       industries. Compared to the first edition, which told this
       story for the first time, the present edit.
