SUMMARY:Tombs and Tomes Book Club November (In Person)
DESCRIPTION:Science is a force for good in the world—at least usually. But sometimes\, when obsession gets the better of scientists\, they twist a noble pursuit into something sinister. Under this spell\, knowledge isn’t everything\, it’s the only thing—no matter the cost. Bestselling author Sam Kean tells the true story of what happens when unfettered ambition pushes otherwise rational men and women to cross the line in the name of science\, trampling ethical boundaries and often committing crimes in the process. \nThe Icepick Surgeon masterfully guides the reader across two thousand years of history\, beginning with Cleopatra’s dark deeds in ancient Egypt. The book reveals the origins of much of modern science in the transatlantic slave trade of the 1700s\, as well as Thomas Edison’s mercenary support of the electric chair and the warped logic of the spies who infiltrated the Manhattan Project. But the sins of science aren’t all safely buried in the past. Many of them\, Kean reminds us\, still affect us today. \nStill interested? Sign up here!
