Five Quarts: A Personal and Natural History of Blood by Bill Hayes

2.0

Not what I was looking for - too much memoir to be science, too much science to be memoir. Surprisingly, recently read fiction (The Physician by Noah Gordon) proved to be a better medical/historical text, and Hayes flies over too many idea and topics too quickly for it to be academically rigorous or emotionally charged. Harmless, but not worth the time.
