Nuland, Sherwin B.
Adult Nonfiction QP38.N894 1997
Sherwin B. Nuland is the author of the best-selling "How We Die," which won the 1994 National Book Award for Nonfiction, "The Mysteries Within: A Surgeon Reflects on Medical Myth," "The Biography of Medicine," & "The Wisdom of the Body," recently published in paperback as "How We Live." He is Clinical Professor of Surgery at Yale University, where he also teaches medical history & bioethics. He lives in Hamden, Connecticut. (Publisher Provided) Sherwin B. Nuland, 1930 - Sherwin Nuland is a 1955 graduate from Yale University School of Medicine. He is also a Clinical Professor of Surgery at the Yale University School of Medicine, a Fellow at Yale's Institute for Social and Policy Studies and teaches the history of medicine. He has written for the New Yorker, Time, Discover, the New Republic, National Geographic, the New York Review of Books, the New York Times, the Boston Globe and the Los Angeles Times. He also writes the column "The Uncertain Art" that appears regularly in the American Scholar. Nuland's first novel "Doctors: The Biography of Medicine" (1989) was followed by "Medicine: The Art of Healing, How We Die" (1993). "How We Die," which won the National Book Award in 1994 and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 1995, clarifies the mysterious process of dying. "The Mysteries Within: Sad Spleens, Happy Hearts, and Other Myths of the Body" narrates his clinical encounters with five chosen organs, the stomach, liver, spleen, heart and uterus, and provides a history of how they gave up their secrets in laboratories and dissecting rooms. It also traces the legends and science about the organs within the body, from primitive times to present day, and reveals as much about the human mind and spirit, as it does the body. Perhaps his greatest work, however, is his unforgettable first-generation American autobiography of his own painful coming of age as a son of immigrants, "Lost in America: A Journey with My Father." (Bowker Author Biography)
