Inhaltsangabe

Wilder Penfield is a towering figure in modern medical history. Pioneer brain surgeon, pathfinder in the search for the causes and cures of epilepsy, the man primarily responsible for ingratiating the disciplines of neurology, neurophysiology, and neurosurgery, Penfield was a man both of creative action and of decisive reflectrion. And Yet, as this autobiography illustrates, Penfield's legacy to us is not solely medical. He was also a writer of true distinction, and a humanist to whom life was a sacred trust. His accounts of professional infighting, of administrative conflicts, of the frustrations and rewards of pure research, as well as the drama of the operation room, are imbued with Penfield's sense of conviction in a way that is both informative and inspirational.
