Last week, we published a round-up of medical-themed books to keep you busy through the holidays (and well beyond!). We've got a few more below, submitted by our staff and Twitter followers. Between the two lists, we suspect you'll be busy until next year!
Bathsheba's Breast: Women, Cancer and History
James S. Olson
Suggested by Dr. Alexandra Easson, PMH: "It is a very readable history of the impact and management of breast cancer. Very interesting."
The Making of a Surgeon
Dr. William Nolan
Suggested by Dr. Fateh Bazerbachi, Multi-Organ Transplant Program, TGH: "one of the best surgery memoirs I have ever read. I highly recommend it to be on the list."
Healing Spaces: The Science of Place and Well-Being
Esther Sternberg
Suggested by Dr. Michael Gardam, Director, Infection Prevention and Control: "on appropriate health care design"
Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives
Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler
Suggested by Dr. Michael Gardam, Director, Infection Prevention and Control: "on the importance of social networks in our health and behaviour"
We also asked our Twitter followers, who came up with a few more ideas.
