The Sublime Engine
Book (italiano):
<DIV><DIV><DIV>The heart has consistently captured the human imagination. It has been singled out as a cultural icon, the repository of our deepest religious and artistic impulses, the organ whose steady functioning is understood, both literally and symbolically, as the very life force itself. <I>The Sublime Engine</I> will explore the profound sense of awe every person feels when they ponder the miracle encased within their ribs. <BR></DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>In this lyrical history of our most essential organ, a critically-acclaimed novelist and a leading cardiologist--who happen to be brothers--draw upon history, science, religion, popular culture, and literature to illuminate all of the heart's physical and figurative chambers. Divided into four sections: 'The Ancient Heart,' 'The Renaissance Heart,' 'The Modern Heart' and 'The Future Heart,' each section will focus on a major epoch in our understanding of the heart and the hidden history of cardiology. Erudite, witty, and enthralling, <I>The Sublime Engine</I> will make the heart come alive for readers.<BR></DIV></DIV></DIV>
