"Dr Amitav Banerjee has a knack of conveying seemingly complex public health messages in a lucid manner, understandable and appealing to experts as well as to the layperson. His writings are gripping, like a story, while at the same time educating the reader on subtle issues with apt analogies. This collection of his writings is a treatise for posterity and essential reading if we are not to repeat the mistakes of the past." Dr Bhaskaran Raman, Professor, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay.
It is indeed refreshing to go through the well-written essays, enriched with wits and humour from an erudite and distinguished personality who enjoys a robust experience on the nuances of public health in our country. He has rightly drawn our attention to the 'politicisation, corruption and suppression of science' by the big pharma and tech companies, thus making us forget the golden principles of 'evolutionary biology'. The readers will certainly realise that clarity and perception arise when the 'third eye' opens up, for it symbolises a state of enlightenment. Dr Amitav Banerjee is a rare bird to see in our modern medical parlour who can dispel the illusion of control with his lucid writings and fascinating evidence. He has also exposed the 'cracks in our public health and regulatory systems' so eloquently that one will realise how not to meddle with a socio-medical issue. Dr Sthabir Dasgupta, a Kolkata-based cancer practitioner and writer.
