Recensori in anteprima

An essential collection from the writer and physician Nobel Laureate Eric Kandel calls “America’s most interesting and important essayist.” “Weissmann introduces us to a new way of thinking about the connections between art and medicine.” —New York Times Book Review “Oliver Sacks, Richard Selzer, Lewis Thomas . . . Weissmann is in this noble tradition.” —Los Angeles Times “Essays that brim with knowledge and bubble with attitude.” —Kirkus Reviews In this diverting collection of essays, Gerald Weissmann looks back at the past few decades of a career spent working at the intersection of the arts and sciences. The Fevers of Reason features some of his best and most representative works, alongside eleven new essays that have never before been published in book form. Masterfully drawing from an array of subject areas and time periods, he tackles everything from Ebola to Eisenhower, Zika to Zola, Darwin to Dawkins, and once again shows that he is one of the most important voices in humanistic science writing today.
