Description - Anesthesia: The Gift of Oblivion and the Mystery of Consciousness by Kate Cole-Adams

  • For fans of Siddhartha Mukherjee's first-person approach to medical history, as well as fans of Oliver Sachs' HALLUCINATIONS or Carl Zimmer's SOUL MADE FLESH
  • In Kate Cole-Adams' deft and intimate narrative style, readers bump up against the edge of the unknowable, against questions about consciousness and trauma and the soul
  • Reads like an episode of the WNYC program Radiolab
  • Given the personal angle of this narrative nonfiction, extensive broadcast media campaign planned on public radio, science programming, and podcasts
  • Because Cole-Adams intertwines her own surgical history into her history of anesthesia in medicine, this book is an excellent selection for book clubs and reading groups
  • This history of medicine is a perennially fascinating and rich subject matter (in October 2017, Scientific American/FSG will publish
  • Lindsey Fitzharris' The Butchering Art: Joseph Lister's Quest to Transform the Grisly World of Victorian Medicine 9780374117290), so widespread media attention expected
