Mr. Humble and Dr. Butcher
Author: Brandy Schillace
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1982113820
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
The “delightfully macabre” (The New York Times) true tale of a brilliant and eccentric surgeon…and his quest to transplant the human soul. In the early days of the Cold War, a spirit of desperate scientific rivalry birthed a different kind of space race: not the race to outer space that we all know, but a race to master the inner space of the human body. While surgeons on either side of the Iron Curtain competed to become the first to transplant organs like the kidney and heart, a young American neurosurgeon had an even more ambitious thought: Why not transplant the brain? Dr. Robert White was a friend to two popes and a founder of the Vatican’s Commission on Bioethics. He developed lifesaving neurosurgical techniques still used in hospitals today and was nominated for the Nobel Prize. But like Dr. Jekyll before him, Dr. White had another identity. In his lab, he was waging a battle against the limits of science and against mortality itself—working to perfect a surgery that would allow the soul to live on after the human body had died. This “fascinating” (The Wall Street Journal), “provocative” (The Washington Post) tale follows his decades-long quest into tangled matters of science, Cold War politics, and faith, revealing the complex (and often murky) ethics of experimentation and remarkable innovations that today save patients from certain death. It’s a “masterful” (Science) look at our greatest fears and our greatest hopes—and the long, strange journey from science fiction to science fact.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
The Chartreuse Mongoose and 36 more wonderful stories from the pen of Grandpa Ed.

Most importantly, they are intended to encourage the joy of reading. They explicitly avoid the present-day trend of filling children's books with endless colored illustrations and one-page sentences that entertain a child, but fail to teach them to read. It is also the author's hope that his stories will contain enough intrigue to encourage parent's to return to the time-honored tradition of reading to their children, especially at bedtime.
