The Man Who Touched his Own Heart

[Rob Dunn]

Hi friends,

Just a quick email to let you know that my new book, "THE MAN WHO TOUCHED HIS OWN HEART," is now available for pre-order at Barnes and Nobles. Pre-orders are really useful to the author, me, and they are also a little bit cheaper.

The book is the story of the human heart, its evolution, history, biology and the fumbling human attempts to understand and mend it. I've put a couple of blurbs about the book below for context. 

Thanks for your support. 

Best wishes,

Rob

Neil Shubin, the author of Your Inner Fish calls it, "An encounter (that) can change the way you look at the world (...) In his latest book, THE MAN WHO TOUCHED HIS OWN HEART,  Dunn brings his scientific curiosity, humanity, and uncanny eye for a good story to what many have called "the seat of our souls."  In Dunn's telling, the human heart is an entré to understand our basic biology, our connections to other animals on our planet and,  even, one of the greatest scientific frontiers." 

"In this story of one of the body parts I worry about most, Rob Dunn brings the skills of a great writer and the knowledge of a fine evolutionary biologist together in the form of a gripping drama that gallops across thousands of years and from graveyard to surgical theatre to modern doctor's office. In the process Dunn sheds light not just on our own hearts but also those of all of the other animals with which we share Earth."—Paul R. Ehrlich, co-author of The Population Bomb and Hope on Earth
