WorksCopeland’s Cure: Homeopathy and the War Between Conventional and Alternative Medicine
"[Robins'] chief purpose is to explain the origins of homeopathy, and to show how a monomaniacal Midwestern doctor named Royal S. Copeland helped legitimize and popularize it.... With colorful examples...Robins shows how Americans' understanding of the physical world around them changed during Copeland's lifetime." --Liesl Schilllinger, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW The Girl Who Died Twice: The Libby Zion Case and the Hidden Hazards of Hospitals
"A tragedy of such epic proportions has found the chronicler it has so long needed... Natalie Robins vividly re-creates the events of that desperate night and its rancorous aftermath in meticulous detail... The most knowledgeable and even-handed critique of our nation's system of medical residency training that I have yet seen in a book for general readers... A triumph of writing and a tribute to its author's compassion and insight... Robins' book will bring new reportorial and literary standards to its genre." --Sherwin Nuland, MD, author of How We Die, winner of the National Book Award Alien Ink: The FBI’s War On Freedom of Expression
