註釋This marvelous history tells of Robert Guthrie's campaign to discover and promote world-wide newborn testing for PKU anomalies plus a host of other genetic disorders that cause mental retardation or premature death if not treated immediately. Dr. Guthrie also waged a battle against lead poisoning long before the public or the the medical community became concerned about this danger. This winsome biography captures the spirit of a soft-spoken, gentle man who was passionate about helping babies born at risk. It is a fitting tribute to a medical crusader and his colleagues who worked tirelessly to save thousands of children from illness and mental retardation.
