Awards and Translations

This is an important book, but I don't understand how the long lists of Awards and of Translations add anything to this entry.

They seem to violate policies like WP:MEDMOS "Extract the pertinent information rather than just dumping low-level facts in a big list."

There were many more important things about the book that don't get covered in this review. For example, many reviewers said that Mukherjee pointed out that Sidney Farber won the Nobel prize for dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors, but Yellapragada Subbarow, the Indian chemist who synthesized the dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors, did not, and was relatively ignored until Mukherjee looked up the history.

How do you expand this entry with information that's more useful and important than the list of Awards and Translations? Look in the reviews of the book. --Nbauman (talk) 18:01, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bad ISBN

Because it is causing a Checkwiki error #73: "ISBN-13 with wrong checksum", I removed the ISBN from the entry:

2015: Persian: "سرطان امپراطور بیماری‌ها", The house of Biology (ISBN 978-600-6226-36-0 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum).

I have tried unsuccessfully to locate the correct ISBN on the Internet. Knife-in-the-drawer (talk) 03:21, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Synopsis

I think the synopsis is incomplete and misses important details from parts of the book. As the book sometimes jumps back and forth, I think a chronological order would best account for a synopsis. I'm in the process of reorganizing it and appreciate any feedback or suggestions. Moksha88 (talk) 16:32, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
