Geriatric Bioscience
I had no idea from the outside of this book what it was about. After Chapter 1, I still had no idea. It was not until around Chapter 2 that it started to make sense, and to become an enjoyable read.
The author writes about medicine, but he places it within several realms: mythology, history, philosophy, religion, and his own experience, almost as if he were locating it on a dimensional graph. It is easy to think about medicine as being completely scientific, especially with the advent of "evidence-based medicine." I am going to be chewing over the multiple meanings and currents I have found within this book for quite some time.
