A Matter Of Life And Death: Inside The Hidden World Of The Pathologist

These sixteen conversations with some of the world’s most eminent and pioneering pathologists shine a light on a hidden world that we will all inevitably encounter at some time in our lives.

This book is part Oliver Sacks and part crime investigation. In addition to fascinating stories of scientific breakthroughs and discoveries, this is a book full of extraordinary characters—from the forensic anthropologist with his own body farm in Tennessee to the doctor who had a lung and heart transplant and ended up using her own lungs for research.
