520    "The first full biography of Jonas Salk offers a complete 
       picture of the enigmatic figure, from his early years 
       working on an influenza vaccine--for which he never fully 
       got credit--to his seminal creation of the Polio vaccine, 
       up through his later work to find a cure for AIDS"--
       |cProvided by publisher. 
520    "When a waiting world learned on April 12, 1955, that 
       Jonas Salk had successfully created a vaccine to prevent 
       poliomyelitis, he became a hero overnight. Born in a New 
       York tenement, humble in manner, Salk had all the makings 
       of a twentieth-century icon-a knight in a white coat. In 
       the wake of his achievement, he received a staggering 
       number of awards and honors; for years his name ranked 
       with Gandhi and Churchill on lists of the most revered 
       people. And yet the one group whose adulation he craved--
       the scientific community--remained ominously silent. "The 
       worst tragedy that could have befallen me was my success,"
       Salk later said. "I knew right away that I was through-
       cast out." In the first complete biography of Jonas Salk, 
       Charlotte DeCroes Jacobs unravels Salk's story to reveal 
       an unconventional scientist and a misunderstood and 
       vulnerable man. Despite his incredible success in 
       developing the polio vaccine, Salk was ostracized by his 
       fellow scientists, who accused him of failing to give 
       proper credit to other researchers and scorned his taste 
       for media attention. Even before success catapulted him 
       into the limelight, Salk was an inscrutable man disliked 
       by many of his peers. Driven by an intense desire to aid 
       mankind, he was initially oblivious and eventually 
       resigned to the personal cost--as well as the costs 
       suffered by his family and friends. And yet Salk remained,
       in the eyes of the public, an adored hero. Based on 
       hundreds of personal interviews and unprecedented access 
       to Salk's sealed archives, Jacobs' biography offers the 
       most complete picture of this complicated figure. Salk's 
       story has never been fully told; until now, his role in 
       preventing polio has overshadowed his part in co-
       developing the first influenza vaccine, his effort to meld
       the sciences and humanities in the magnificent Salk 
       Institute, and his pioneering work on AIDS. A vivid and 
       intimate portrait, this will become the standard work on 
       the remarkable life of Jonas Salk"--|cProvided by
