A popular biography of brain surgery, by one of its preeminent practitioners. We’ve all heard the phrase “it’s not brain surgery.” But what exactly is brain surgery? It’s a profession that is barely a hundred years old and profoundly connects two human beings, but few know how it works, or its history. How did early neurosurgeons come to understand the human brain—an extraordinarily complex organ that controls everything we do, and yet at only three pounds is so fragile? And how did this incredibly challenging and lifesaving specialty emerge? In this warm, rigorous, and deeply insightful book, Dr. Theodore H. Schwartz explores what it’s like to hold the scalpel, wield the drill, extract a tumor, fix a bullet hole, and remove a blood clot—when every second can mean life or death. Drawing from the author’s own cases, plus media, sports, and government archives, this seminal work delves into all the brain-related topics that have long-consumed public curiosity, like what really happened to JFK, President Biden’s brain surgery, and the NFL’s management of CTE. Dr. Schwartz also surveys the field’s latest incredible advances and discusses the philosophical questions of the unity of the self and the existence of free will. A neurosurgeon as well as a professor of neurosurgery at Weill Cornell Medicine, one of the busiest and most highly ranked neurosurgery centers in the world, Dr. Schwartz tells this story like no one else could. Told through anecdote and clear explanation, this is the ultimate cultural and scientific history of a literally mind-blowing human endeavor, one that cuts to the core of who we are.


一本关于脑外科手术的热门传记,由这一领域最杰出的实践者之一撰写。我们都听过“这不是脑外科手术”这句话。但究竟什么是脑外科手术呢?这个职业仅仅百年历史,在人类之间建立了深刻联系,然而很少有人知道它的工作原理或其历史。早期神经外科医生是如何理解人体大脑的——一个控制我们一切行为、却只有三磅重且极其脆弱的复杂器官?又如何形成了这个极具挑战性和挽救生命的专科?在这本温暖而严谨,深具洞察力的书中,肖茨博士(Dr. Theodore H. Schwartz)探索了作为一名外科医生所面临的考验:握刀、钻孔、切除肿瘤、修补弹孔,并清除血栓——每秒都可能意味着生死。 作者从自己的案例,加上媒体、体育和政府档案中提取的信息,深入探讨了长期以来一直占据公众好奇心的所有与大脑相关的主题,包括肯尼迪总统的真伪问题,乔·拜登总统的脑部手术,以及NFL对CTE管理。肖茨博士还审视了该领域的最新惊人进展,并讨论关于自我统一性和自由意志存在的哲学问题。除了是韦斯特康奈尔医学院(Weill Cornell Medicine)神经外科教授外,肖茨博士还是世界上最具活力和最被高度评价的神经外科中心之一的成员。肖茨博士以别人无法讲述的故事来讲述这一故事。通过轶事和清晰解释的方式,这是一部实际上令人震惊的人类事业的文化和科学历史书,它触及到我们究竟是什么的本质。
