    The Family That Couldn't Sleep Unravelling A Venetian Medical Mystery (First Paperback Edition )

    D.T. Max

    Can there be a nastier way to die than from a chronic inability to sleep? This appalling affliction killed dozens of members of one aristocratic Venetian family over the last three centuries only to emerge in the 1990s as the key to the hunt for the cause of a cluster of diseases – including Mad Cow, and Alzheimer's. This is the utterly compelling, surprising story told here.
