Discover fascinating true stories of scientists and doctors throughout history, including: Rival surgeons who killed patient after patient in their race to operate on beating hearts—and put us on the path toward the heart transplant A quartet of Canadians whose miraculous discovery of insulin was marred by jealousy and resentment The doctors who discovered penicillin, but were robbed of the credit The feud between two Americans in the quest for the polio vaccine A New York surgeon whose “heretical” idea to cure patients by deliberately infecting them has now inspired our next-best hope to defeat cancer A Hungarian doctor who solved the greatest mystery of maternal deaths in childbirth, only to be ostracized for his discovery The Masters of Medicine is a fascinating chronicle of human courage, audacity, error, and luck. This riveting ode to mankind reveals why the past is prelude to the game-changing breakthroughs of tomorrow.

How Your Body's Microbes Hold the Key to Health and Happiness

In this groundbreaking book Allana Collen explores the extraordinary world of the powerful microbes that make up 90% of the human body. You are just 10% human. For every one of the cells that make your body, there are nine impostor cells. You are not just flesh and blood, muscle and bone, brain and skin, but bacteria and fungi. You are not an individual, but a colony. Far from being passive, the trillions of microbes that live on and in you are intimately involved in running your body. As Alanna Collen explores, the modern epidemics of 'Western' diseases - obesity, mental health problems, gut disorders, allergies, autoimmunity, and even cancer - have their root in our failure to cherish our most fundamental and enduring relationship: that with our personal colony of microbes. Antibiotics, antibacterial cleaners, rapidly changing diets and our obsession with hygiene vastly reduced the microbe community we carry. Unlike our human cells, though, we can change our microbes for the better. '10% Human' provides a revelatory guide to the role of your body's microbes in health and happiness. This is popular science at its most relevant: life will never seem the same again.

The History of the Human Brain As Revealed by True Stories of Trauma, Madness, and Recovery

From the author of the bestsellers The Disappearing Spoon and The Violinist's Thumb, fascinating tales of the brain and the history of neuroscience. Early studies of the functions of the human brain used a simple method: wait for misfortune to strike-strokes, seizures, infectious diseases, lobotomies, horrendous accidents-and see how the victim coped. In many cases survival was miraculous, and observers could only marvel at the transformations that took place afterward, altering victims' personalities. An injury to one section can leave a person unable to recognize loved ones; some brain trauma can even make you a pathological gambler, pedophile, or liar. But a few scientists realized that these injuries were an opportunity for studying brain function at its extremes. With lucid explanations and incisive wit, Sam Kean explains the brain's secret passageways while recounting forgotten stories of common people whose struggles, resiliency, and deep humanity made modern neuroscience possible.

Heavy Hardcover (2 to 4 lbs)

Dramatic improvements in virtually every piece of art, along with a greater selection and integration of technology offerings, makes the new edition an even better tool for every students learning style. *The entire art program has been dramatically revised, resulting in unsurpassed clarity and enhanced visual appeal. The new edition takes full advantage of technological advances in scientific and medical illustration, so that students will see greater contrast among structures, brighter colors, and more visible detail, particularly in muscle, bone, and joint illustrations. See Chapter 9 for best examples. *Elaine Mariebs student-friendly writing uses frequent analogies to explain difficult concepts and engage students interest. For example, writing about the immune system and adapted body defense systems: Faced by a hostile army of microorganisms swarming on our skin, and invaded by airborne bacteria and ravaging viruses, we stay amazingly healthy most of the time. The body seems to have evolved a single-minded approach toward such foes - if you're not with us, then you're against us. Chapter 22. *Focus on the healthy body in a state of homeostasis.
