He was also among the most despised figures in Nazi Germany. As a Jewish homosexual living openly with his male partner, Warburg represented all that the Third Reich abhorred. Yet Hitler and his top advisors dreaded cancer, and saw Warburg as Germany's best chance of survival. Apple shows that Warburg's metabolic approach to cancer was eclipsed after the postwar discovery of the structure of DNA set off a search for the genetic origins of cancer. -- adapted from jacket 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Warburg, Otto Heinrich, |d1883-1970. 650 0 Biochemists |zGermany |vBiography. 650 0 Cancer |xNutritional aspects. 650 0 Cancer cells |xGrowth. 650 0 Cancer |xResearch |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Science and state |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 National socialism and medicine. 650 0 National socialism and science. 600 12 Warburg, Otto Heinrich, |d1883-1970. 650 2 Biochemistry |xhistory. |0(DNLM)D001671Q000266 650 2 Neoplasms |xhistory. |0(DNLM)D009369Q000266 650 2 Neoplasms |xdiet therapy. |0(DNLM)D009369Q000178 650 2 Neoplasms |xprevention & control. |0(DNLM)D009369Q000517 650 2 History, 20th Century. |0(DNLM)D049673 651 2 Germany. |0(DNLM)D005858 650 6 Biochimistes |0(CaQQLa)201-0085407 |zAllemagne |0(CaQQLa)201-0392817 |vBiographies. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 Cancer |xAspect nutritionnel. |0(CaQQLa)201-0004689 650 6 Cellules cancéreuses |xCroissance. |0(CaQQLa)201-0125131 650 6 Cancer |xRecherche |0(CaQQLa)201-0004697 |zAllemagne |0(CaQQLa)201-0392817 |xHistoire |y20e siècle. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378892 650 6 Politique scientifique et technique |0(CaQQLa)201-0009888 |zAllemagne |0(CaQQLa)201-0392817 |xHistoire |y20e siècle. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378892 650 6 Nazisme et médecine. |0(CaQQLa)201-0275790 650 6 Nazisme et sciences. |0(CaQQLa)201-0192253 650 6 Médecine |xHistoire |y20e siècle. |0(CaQQLa)201-0437836 600 17 Warburg, Otto Heinrich, |d1883-1970. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01453113 650 7 Biochemists. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00831989 650 7 Cancer cells |xGrowth. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00845567 650 7 Cancer |xNutritional aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00845407 650 7 Cancer |xResearch. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00845497 650 7 National socialism and medicine. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01033797 650 7 National socialism and science. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01033805 650 7 Science and state. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01108536 651 7 Germany. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210272 600 17 Warburg, Otto Heinrich, |d1883-1970. |2nli 650 7 Biochemists |zGermany |vBiography. |2nli 650 7 Cancer |xNutritional aspects. |2nli 650 7 Cancer cells |xGrowth. |2nli 650 7 Cancer |xResearch |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. |2nli 650 7 Science and state |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. |2nli 650 7 National socialism and medicine. |2nli 650 7 National socialism and science. |2nli 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 2 Biography. |0(DNLM)D019215 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 655 7 Biographies. |2rvmgf |0(CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000519 776 08 |iebook version : |z9781631493164 852 0 |bscstacks |hQP511.8.W37 |iA67 2021
