History, Medicine, and Science: Nonfiction and Fiction discussion

I just purchased Doctor Olaf van Schuler's Brain. Anyone know about this book?

I read it when it came out last year. Found it fascinating. The author talks about her research for the book here:

Thank you for the link. I was able to read the New York Times article, but the author's article has been truncated. (Or maybe non-members can't read it all.)

Anyway, the book seemed to get very diverse reviews by Goodreads members. It sounds interesting enough to me to give it a try. (AND you didn't say anything negative!)

Nope. I liked it. I'm not sure the narrative trajectory works across the book. But the individual chapters are really fascinating and richly described.

I am just startingDelusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine. It looks really interesting. I am very interested in issues of neurology, in particular the brain's mediation of embodiment and experiences of embodiment.

I just finished "The Making of a Surgeon". I highly recommend it!
