Ruminator Review: "Nuland is...a member of that rare breed of scientist who can not only communicate with nonspecialists but sing to them through taut, shimmering prose. This man cuts people open for a living, and yet he has the ability to write about those feats so heartily, so invitingly that you almost feel like saying, 'Yes, cut here; operate on me, if you'd like.' In other words, Nuland is brilliant in many, many ways." |

| Publisher's Note: |
Each of our internal organs has a personality of its own, and a mythology too. Any surgeon will tell you that, but even surgeons know only a small percentage of the stories that have shaped the image of one or another of the structures they fondle daily in the name of healing. |
