Item description from seller

Paperback. In this poignant and startlingly original book, Brian Doyle examines the heart as a physical organhow it is supposed to work, how surgeons try to fix it when it doesntand as a metaphor: the seat of the soul, the power house of the body, the essence of spirituality. In a series of profoundly moving ruminations, Doyle considers the scientific, emotional, literary, philosophical, and spiritual understandings of the heartfrom cardiology to courage, from love letters and pop songs to botany and Jesus. Weaving these strands together is the torment of Doyles own infant sons heart surgery and the inspiring story of the young heart doctor who saved Liams life.First published in 2005, The Wet Engineis a book that will change how you feel and think about the mysterious, fragile human heart. This new paperback edition includes a foreword by Dr. Marla Salmon, dean of the University of Washington School of Nursing. Examines the heart as a physical organ - how it is supposed to work, how surgeons try to fix it when it doesnt - and as a metaphor: the seat of the soul, the power house of the body, the essence of spirituality. Brian Doyle considers the scientific, emotional, literary, philosophical, and spiritual understandings of the heart - from cardiology to courage, from love letters and pop songs to Jesus.
