Story
The first of our organs to form and the last to die, the heart is both a simple pump and the symbol of what makes us human; as long as it continues to beat, there is hope. In The Story of a Heart, Dr. Rachel Clarke interweaves the history of medical innovations behind transplant surgery with the story of two children—one of whom desperately needs a new heart.

Story
In Germany on Christmas Day 1956 a baby girl was born without ears. She was the first victim of the notorious thalidomide epidemic. There would be over 10,000 more across 46 countries. For years the world believed the United States had avoided the catastrophe. After Frances Kelsey at the FDA became suspicious of the dangers of thalidomide in 1960, she led a successful fight to block its commercial approval. But now, having probed government and corporate archives and interviewed hundreds of key players, Jennifer Vanderbes reveals a darker truth that lay buried for decades.

Story
У мамы — болит, у соседки — болит, у коллег на работе — тоже болит. Ну и у меня болит, чего же тут странного? Многие свыклись с тем, что головная боль — это часть их жизни. И не воспринимают ее как заболевание, которое можно и нужно лечить. Одна из задач этой книги — объяснить, что если голова болит, то это ненормально, это какое-то заболевание (к счастью, в большинстве случаев неопасное). И что не стоит терпеть эту боль, принимая обезболивающие через день. Можно себе помочь и значительно повысить качество своей жизни другими способами.

Story
From a plague in Athens during the Peloponnesian War in 430 BCE, to another in 540 that wiped out half the population of the Roman empire, down through the Black Death in the Middle Ages and on through the 1918 flu epidemic (which killed between 50 and 100 million people) and this century's deadly SARS outbreak, plagues have been a much more relentless fact of life than many realize. The legacy of epidemics, Brian Michael Jenkins observes, is not only one of lives lost but of devastated economies and social disorder, all of which have severe political repercussions.

Coronarie, colesterolo, elettrocardiogramma, stent: cosa indicano questi termini? Conoscere l'infarto significa avere qualche speranza in più di evitarlo o di sopravvivergli più consapevoli, e forse più sorridenti. E trattarlo con ironia significa spogliarlo del suo alone minaccioso. Dai sintomi al primo soccorso, dai fattori di rischio ai farmaci, alla prevenzione, passando per le ansie e gli interrogativi dei familiari, le prassi delle visite di controllo: un vademecum cardiologico utile anche a sostenere lo spirito di chi sa di aver corso un pericolo.

Story
Alcohol and medicine have an inextricably intertwined history, with innovations in each altering the path of the other. The story stretches back to the ancient world, when beer and wine were used to provide nutrition, hydration and act as solvents for healing botanicals. Over time, alchemists distilled elixirs designed to cure all diseases, monastic apothecaries developed mystical botanical liqueurs, travelling physicians concocted dubious intoxicating nostrums and the drinks we’re familiar with today began to take form.

Una storia francese del XIX secolo su un aspetto fondante della vita: il venire al mondo, la nascita, il nascere. Nella provincia rurale e soprattutto a Parigi si viene guidati in angoli talora ancora presenti e da riscoprire. E attraverso le vite e le opere di Marie-Anne Boivin e di Stéphane Tarnier si ricostruisce un passaggio epocale del modo di nascere: da arte secolare sviluppata nella pratica, tutta al femminile, delle levatrici ai primi apporti della nascente specialità ostetrico-ginecologica, subito rigorosamente difesa dal monopolio della scienza medica maschile.
