`Thrilling... The "dizzying" story of heart surgery is every bit as important as that of the nuclear, computer or rocket ages. And yet the heart still feels sacred: just before the operation to fit one of the first artificial hearts, the patient's wife asked the surgeon if he would still be able to love her.

Reading the Weather is a classic meteorology guide by Thomas Morris. Once interested in the air, science soon began to take up that commonplace but baffling phase of it called the weather. Now, of all matters under the sun the weather was the deepest intrenched in superstition and hearsay. From the era of Noah it had been made the subject of more remarks unrelieved by common sense than any other. It was at once the commonest topic for conversation and the rarest for thought.

An eye-opening and heroic story of pioneering heart surgeons, structured around eleven operations.For thousands of years the human heart remained the deepest of mysteries; both home to the soul and an organ too complex to touch, let alone operate on. Then, in the late nineteenth century, medics began going where no one had dared go before. The following decades saw the mysteries of the heart exposed, thanks to pioneering surgeons, brave patients and even sacrificial dogs. In eleven landmark operations, Thomas Morris tells us stories of triumph, reckless bravery, swaggering arrogance, jealousy and rivalry, and incredible ingenuity: the trail-blazing 'blue baby' procedure that transformed wheezing infants into pink, healthy children; the first human heart transplant, which made headline news around the globe. And yet the heart still feels sacred: just before the operation to fit one of the first artificial hearts, the patient's wife asked the surgeon if he would still be able to love her. The Matter of the Heart gives us a view over the surgeon's shoulder, showing us the heart's inner workings and failings. It describes both a human story and a history of risk-taking that has ultimately saved millions of lives.

""A House For The Suburbs: Socially And Architecturally Sketched"" is a book written by Thomas Morris in 1861. The book is a detailed exploration of the ideal house design for the suburbs, both from a social and architectural perspective. Morris believed that the suburbs were a unique environment that required a different approach to housing design than the city or the countryside. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the social aspects of suburban living. Morris argues that the suburbs are a place where families can escape the noise and pollution of the city and enjoy a more peaceful and healthy lifestyle. He discusses the importance of community and how the design of the house can encourage social interaction between neighbors. The second part of the book is devoted to the architectural aspects of suburban housing design. Morris provides detailed sketches and plans for a variety of different house designs, including cottages, villas, and mansions. He discusses the importance of natural light, ventilation, and privacy in the design of the house. Morris also provides advice on the use of materials, such as brick, stone, and wood, and how they can be used to create a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing design. Overall, ""A House For The Suburbs: Socially And Architecturally Sketched"" is a comprehensive guide to suburban housing design in the mid-19th century. Morris's ideas and designs are still relevant today and continue to influence modern suburban architecture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
