Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Jauhar weaves his own personal and family story into his history of the heartvery effectively This gives a certain dramatic tension to the book, as it tells the fascinating and rather wonderful history of cardiology. Henry Marsh, New Statesman A Mail on Sunday Book of the Year The heart lies at the centre of life. For cardiologist Sandeep Jauhar it is an obsession. In this fascinating history he interweaves gripping scenes from the operating theatre with the moving tale of his familys history of heart problems from the death of his grandfather to the ominous signs of how he himself might die. Jauhar looks at the pioneers who risked patients lives and their own careers, and confronts the limits of medical technology, arguing that how we live is more important than any device or drug we may invent. Heart is the all-encompassing story of the engine of life. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Softcover. Condition: new. Named a best book of the year by The New Yorker A Smithsonian top ten science book of 2023Blending the humor, compassion, and absorbing family drama of first-rate memoir with expert science writing, [Sandeep Jauhar] has composed a cant-miss introduction to what has been called the Age of Alzheimers. -Sanjay Gupta, author of Keep Sharp and World War CA deeply affecting memoir of a fathers descent into dementia, and a revelatory inquiry into why the human brain degenerates with age and what we can do about it.Almost six million Americans-about one in every ten people over the age of sixty-five-have Alzheimers disease or a related dementia, and this number is projected to more than double by 2050. What is it like to live with and amid this increasingly prevalent condition, an affliction that some fear more than death? In My Fathers Brain, the distinguished physician and author Sandeep Jauhar sets his fathers struggle with Alzheimers alongside his own journey toward understanding this disease and how it might best be coped with, if not cured.In an intimate memoir rich with humor and heartbreak, Jauhar relates how his immigrant father and extended family felt, quarreled, and found their way through the dissolution of a cherished life. Along the way, he lucidly exposes what happens in the brain as we age and our memory falters, and explores everything from ancient conceptions of the mind to the most cutting-edge neurological-and bioethical-research. Throughout, My Fathers Brain confronts the moral and psychological concerns that arise when family members must become caregivers, when childrens and parents roles reverse, and when we must accept unforeseen turns in our closest relationships-and in our understanding of what it is to have a self. The result is a work of essential insight into dementia, and into how scientists, caregivers, and all of us in an aging society are reckoning with the fallout.

Hardcover. Condition: New. There may be up to 10 million Indians living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias, and that number is expected to increase dramatically in the next few decades. What is it like to live with and amid this increasingly prevalent condition-an affliction that some fear more than death? In My Father's Brain, the distinguished physician and author Sandeep Jauhar sets his father's descent into Alzheimer's alongside his own journey toward understanding this disease and how it might best be coped with, if not cured. In an intimate memoir rich with humour and heartbreak, Jauhar relates how his immigrant father and extended family felt, quarrelled, and found their way through the dissolution of a cherished life. Along the way, he lucidly exposes what happens in the brain as we age and our memory falters and explores everything from the history of ancient Greece to the most cutting-edge neurological-and bioethical-research. Throughout, My Father's Brain confronts the moral and psychological concerns that arise when family members must become caregivers, when children's and parents' roles reverse, and when we must accept unforeseen turns in our closest relationships-and in our understanding of what it is to have a self. The result is a work of essential insight into dementia, and into how scientists, caregivers, and all of us in an aging society are reckoning with the fallout.

Condition: new. Pages: 288 Language: Estonian. Inimsüda on aastasadu meile tabamatuks jäänud: arusaamatu judisev mass, mida on peetud tunnete äratajaks, hinge asukohaks. Kardioloog ja menuautor Sandeep Jauhar kirjeldab raamatus Inimsüda. Ajalugu" veel hiljuti kehtinud tabude murdmist, mis on viinud elumuutvate protseduuride väljatöötamiseni. Vaheldumisi ajaloolisi võtmesündmusi ja omaenese tööga seonduvaid episoode kirjeldades jutustab Jauhar meile värviküllase ja paljudele siiani tundmatu loo arstidest, kes riskisid oma karjääriga, ja patsientidest, kes panid ohtu oma elu, et meie kõige tähtsamat elundit tundma ja ravima õppida. Ta tutvustab meile Daniel Hale Williamsit, afroameerika arsti, kes viis kuldse ajastu Chicagos läbi esimese avatud südamega operatsiooni. Kohtume C. Walton Lilleheiga, kes ühendas patsiendi vereringe terve doonori omaga, pannes nii aluse kunstlikule vereringele. Ja lisaks saame teada, kes oli südamerütmurit leiutades miljoneid elusid päästnud Wilson Greatbatch. Jauhar põimib need avastusi, vaprust ja kurbust käsitlevad lood osavalt kokku omaenese perekonna ja paljude aastate jooksul ravitud patsientide südamehaiguste ajalooga. Ta kirjeldab nüüdismeditsiini piire, väites, et meie tulevik sõltub pigem eluviisivalikutest kui seadmetest, mida me elu pikendamiseks leiutame. Mõjus, paeluv ja hästi kirjutatud raamat annab hea ülevaate ainsast iseseisvalt liikuvast elundist. 9789916123577.
