A Surgeon Explores Myth, Medicine, and the Human Body.
Dr Sherwin Nuland, author of the award-winning 'How We Die', once again combines knowledge, compassion, and elegance of expression to shed light on the workings of our bodies from the perspective of a surgeon. Dr Nuland recounts age-old legends about the functions and "personalities" of the body's organs and, in riveting vignettes of the surgery he has performed, he describes the connections between myth and reality. A brilliant blend of science and folklore, 'The Mysteries Within' reveals the enigmas not only of the body but also of the human imagination.
