Inhaltsangabe
In this treasure trove of new and best-known essays, Gerald Weissmann ranges freely through subjects as diverse as a cultural history of inflammation, the medical careers of Gertrude Stein and William Carlos Williams, and the Titanic. He is equally at home with Darwin as he is with a suffering homeless patient to whom he ministers with compassion. While in these pages he wages an acutely argued campaign against scientific fraud and facile reasoning, there is nothing righteous or strident in his tone. His writing has a rare brilliance that evokes figures of history and art as vividly as the genius of scientific discovery.
