E-DRUG: List of Books on Medicines (10)
---------------------------------------------------------
{Thanks Ellen. these books will be added to the file. BS]
Dear All,
I have compiled the following list with the help of DES Action US and France, of books about Diethylstilbestrol (DES). The list includes books in English, French and Dutch.
Some may say this is ancient history but also a reminder that for persons exposed to DES it remains a concern until this day.
The DES story offers lessons of failed regulation, an irresponsible industry, inadequate medical and government response and impressive community organisation to remedy these failures.
Kind regards,
Ellen
