By Sheramy Bundrick
Early the morning of 24 December 1888, a severely wounded man was brought to the Hôtel-Dieu of Arles for treatment.  On duty: Félix Rey (1867–1932), a young intern completing his thesis from the University of Montpellier.

		<description><![CDATA[
Is it possible to have found a fiction writer who shares such wonder at early medicine&#8217;s marvels?  Does Kirsten Menger-Andersen earn an honorary place among medical historians for translating our odd truths about medical beliefs and practices into breath-taking and respectful prose?  Answer:  YES.
Doctor Olaf von Schuler&#8217;s Brain is simply gorgeous.  [...]]]></description>

By Holly Tucker
What would happen if a painter-monk fell in love with a young novitiate? And what happens when an art historian pairs up with a novelist? Answer&#8211;The Miracles of Prato: A Novel.

I make before you now an earnest confession: I am a not a math genius.
Thanks to graduate training, I feel pretty darn confident when it comes to historical research and critical theory. But math, well, let&#8217;s just say that I&#8217;d never be able to play the Matt Damon character in Good Will [...]]]></description>
