Actually a trade paperback edition.
The book takes the reader through the life of Dr. Lewis Thomas author of such great scientific books as The Lives of A Cell. He has a fun and interesting ability to tell a wonderful life story.

Part philosophy part science, part biography, altogether a great read. The reader learns the great strides the field of medicine has made in the 20th century and a glimpse of the challenges facing it in the future. It is an eye opening and pleasant read.
