Product Information

It's time to chuck away your dreary science textbooks and explore the grim, gruesome and grizzyly side of science.

We acknowledge the generous support of the Government of Canada, the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Government of New Brunswick. A popular fiction writing instructor at workshops in Canada, the US, and New Zealand, she is the author of The ABCs of Writing Fiction and six books of stories. Ranging across continents and centuries, Schama unpacks the stories of the often unknown individuals whose pioneering work changed the face of modern healthcare. Leave your test tubes and bar charts at home - we don't like boring science here.
