Reviews
In ten essays Gonzalez-Crussi ( Notes of an Anatomist ) brings together facts on human biology and philosophical reflection. For example, in the chapter on "Three Forms of Sudden Death," the section on asphyxiation combines: the ancients' beliefs about the role of respiration and life, the phenomenon and chances of choking, and a discussion of sleep apnea syndrome and nightmares. Gonzalez-Crussi's lucid style imparts medical knowledge with a mixture of humor and reverence. Readers will find each essay enjoyable, informative, and reflective. Highly recommended. Michael D.
