Book Pre-Order: The Icepick Surgeon (Non-fiction Book Club Pick)

Non-Fiction Book Club Bundle

The Icepick Surgeon | Non-Fiction Book Club Bundle

$35.00 | Local Pickup Only

Description:

Our next Non-Fiction Book Club pick is The Icepick Surgeon by bestselling science writer Sam Kean, a fascinating and deeply unsettling journey through some of history’s strangest crimes committed in the name of scientific progress.

Spanning centuries of history, Kean explores pirates who became naturalists, rival scientists driven to sabotage, the development of the electric chair, the disturbing legacy of lobotomies, espionage surrounding the Manhattan Project, and other moments when otherwise brilliant people crossed dangerous ethical lines.

Part science history, part true crime, and filled with the kind of unbelievable stories that send you immediately down a research rabbit hole, The Icepick Surgeon asks a complicated question: what happens when the pursuit of knowledge becomes more important than the people harmed along the way?

What’s included:

A paperback copy of The Icepick Surgeon by Sam Kean
A themed treat from Bonne Vie Macarons
An exclusive Book Club & Co. bookmark
