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.

一本关于脑外科的热门传记，由这一领域最杰出的实践者之一撰写 我们听过“这不是脑外科问题”，但脑外科到底是什么？这是一项不到一百年历史的职业，并且深刻地连接了两个人类生命体，但很少有人知道它的运作方式或其历史。早期神经外科医生是如何理解人类大脑——一个控制着我们所有行为的极其复杂的器官，只有三磅重却异常脆弱呢？并且如何诞生这一极具挑战性和挽救生命的专科？ 在这本温暖、严谨且深刻洞察力极强的书中，史考茨博士探索了作为一名脑外科医生的感受：握刀、磨钻、取出肿瘤、修复弹孔，并移除血凝块——每一秒钟都可能意味着生死。他从作者亲身经历的病例以及媒体、体育和政府档案中汲取信息，深入探讨公众长期以来关注的所有与大脑相关的话题，比如肯尼迪总统的真实情况、拜登总统的大脑手术，还有职业橄榄球联盟管理CTE的状况。史考茨博士还概述了该领域的最新惊人进展，并讨论了自我统一性和自由意志存在的哲学问题。 作为威尔·乔尔·内维尔医学中心的神经外科医生和神经外科教授，史考茨博士以无人能及的方式讲述这个故事。通过轶事与清晰解释，这本文化与科学历史书揭示了一个真正令人震惊的人类努力的核心，该努力触及了我们是谁的本质。
