Content introduction
Where does the custom of "removing one's heart after death" come from? Praise a Viking for having a "cold" heart? Louis XIV's stolen mummified heart ends up on dinner plates? The heart produces enough energy to drive a car 20 miles a day? The world's first heart defibrillation experiment happened on a chicken? Do strong emotions really 'break your heart'?
This book traces the "timeline of the heart" that runs through human history.
Beginning with the story of the heart from the dawn of civilization, we review how our understanding of the heart has evolved and its special significance in medicine, philosophy, literature and the arts, and embark on a fascinating cultural and scientific journey that spans 20,000 years to rediscover the king of the heart.
