Paperback. Condition: New. In 1960s Apartheid South Africa, Black Lives did not matter. Black people were denied all basic freedoms including the right to advanced education. Most people know of South African surgeon, Christiaan Barnard, who carried out the very first successful heart transplant in the world. But very few people know the name of Hamilton Naki. Naki, an uneducated black gardener at Barnard's university, doubled up as his laboratory assistant and turned out to have a remarkable natural aptitude for surgery. Even fewer people know that Naki, not Barnard, carried out most of the numerous animal transplant experiments that came before the first human transplant and helped to develop its successful methodology. And sadly, a mere handful of people have heard of Denise Darville, whose tragic car crash made her our first heart donor. This fluent, moving novel documents the unlikely pairing of Barnard and Naki and their convergence with the short life of Denise - to change the future of heart surgery forever. An accurate story with a most original focus, it tells the revelatory truth behind a landmark achievement in modern surgery.It is a gripping and affecting novel simply written in a fluent voice of controlled indignation and compassion.This is a story of burning interest to a wide range of readers. Readers with scientific and political interests, black history, human rights, the general history of injustice throughout the world, will all be gripped by it.…

Paperback. Condition: New. In Pursuit of the Beautiful Soul by Justine Kolata offers a revolutionary solution to overcoming the soullessness of modern life. The book explores the untold relationship between the eighteenth-century philosophy of the Beautiful Soul and the salon culture in which it was enacted. This lost humanistic artform of self-cultivation inspires the pursuit of beauty, goodness, and truth in the act of creating a beautiful existence. Kolata weaves together the essential features of this practical philosophy with an historical exploration of the German-Jewish salonnières' ground-breaking efforts to cultivate beautiful souls through the arts and conversation. She recounts vivid anecdotes from her own salons which revitalise this vibrant tradition. In Pursuit of the Beautiful Soul explores how this philosophy's prescient insights into the human condition provide a framework for today's disenchanted generations to restore the ideals intrinsic to individual happiness and social flourishing.…
