Authors@Google: Helen Epstein

The Authors@Google program was pleased to welcome Helen Epstein to Google's New York office to discuss her book, "The Invisible Cure: Africa, the West, and the Fight Against AIDS".

From Macmillan: "Helen Epstein writes frequently on public health for various publications including The New York Review of Books and The New York Times Magazine. She is currently a visiting research scholar at the Center for Health and Wellbeing at Princeton University."

From Publisher's Weekly: "Epstein, a public health specialist and molecular biologist who has worked on AIDS vaccine research, overturns many of our received notions about why AIDS is rampant in Africa and what to do about it. She charges that Western governments and philanthropists, though well-meaning, have been wholly misguided, and that Africans themselves, who understand their own cultures, often know best how to address HIV in their communities."

This event took place on August 29, 2008.
