手術的發明 (上)：從對身體蒙昧無知到人體解剖，從細菌理論到抗生素，從忍痛到麻醉，從救急到常規手術，一段為現代醫學鋪路的歷史
~從蒙昧無知到引領進步~
一部外科手術權威所寫下
蠻幹硬闖、駭人聽聞卻又披荊斬棘的外科手術史。
大膽而引人注目。史耐德記述了外科領域的「工匠、奇人和孤獨天才」，讓他的文章生動活潑、見多識廣，優秀又有趣。― The Wall Street Journal
本書是一部宏觀的外科手術史，由大衛•史耐德醫師撰寫，內容從古希臘醫生對人體的危險猜測說起，一路寫到改變世界的20世紀植入物革命。再加上自己接受醫學訓練的過程，以及與病患之間難忘的回憶，讓這本書更加引人入勝。
本書描述了外科手術領域最具活力的關鍵人物，講述他們如何找出致病細菌、找出器官被感染和產生癌變的原因，發現了抗生素並創造乾淨無菌的環境，而能透過手術強力介入人們生活，最終造成外科手術的興起，使手術從原本只在危急狀況下救命，轉變成非急需施行的常規手術，也讓植入物的革命變成可能。如今每年有極度乾淨與無菌的環境，才使植入物的革命成為可能，導致如今在全世界每年有將近數百萬的植入物被用在人體上。
當今市面上有很多手術百科全書與外科醫師傳記，卻少有將這段艱辛歷史呈現出來的整體敘事，為我們解釋「我們究竟是如何走到現在」。本書提供西方科學史的脈絡，又兼顧大時代背景，更進一步在當今手術器材、醫療保險、手術技術仍在持續改革和變化之際，探討「下一步將會是什麼」的問題，引領讀者一起前瞻人類醫學的未來。

Born in 1951 in Louisville, Kentucky, Tensho David Schneider was the first child of Marc, a Jew and engineer and Georgia, his southern Baptist sociologist mother. David rapidly acquired three sisters, the rudiments of a standard boomer education, and a bi-religious, Southern upbringing, involving. Saturday School and Sunday School. He grew up in Pittsburgh, PA .
He began to practice Zen meditation with a local group at Reed College, in Portland, OR and attended sesshins with Joshu Sasaki Roshi in 1970 and 71. In January, 1971, he met Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, and he says, that did it. In April of the same year, he saw Suzuki Roshi and Trungpa Rinpoche together at the San Francisco Zen Center, and that really did it
David dropped out of Reed College to move into Zen Center. He took up studies under Richard Baker Roshi, and in 1977, he received ordination as unsui or “cloud-water person.” He did many academic and practical jobs as part of community life there, which ran from 1972-85. The 1983 scandal at SF Zen Center led to the departure of Baker Roshi. In 1984, in the formal shuso ceremony, David was ordained as a head monk at the Hartford Street Zen Center in San Francisco.
In 1985 David was formally accepted by Trungpa Rinpoche as a student. He attended Vajradhatu Seminary in 1986 and staffed Seminary again in 1988.
David wrote Street Zen, a biography of Issan Dorsey, published in 1993 by Shambhala Publications, and again in 2000 by Marlowe. Street Zen won several prizes, included “Best Buddhist Book of the Year” in 1993. In 1994 he co-edited with Kazuaki Tanahashi a collection of zen stories, titled Essential Zen.
In 1995, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche appointed David Director of Shambhala Europe by, a position he held until 2003. David now works for Vajradhatu Publications Europe; he continues as well to pursue writing projects – currently, a biography of Beat poet and zen master Zenshin Philip Whalen – as well as calligraphy exhibitions. Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche appointed David to the post of acharya in 1996.
