"The Medusa and the Snail" by Lewis Thomas

book review by Riley Burnham 3/13/2024

good stuff(!)

this one has a wide scope & covers a lot of subjects -- a collection of essays regarding biology, disease, symbiosis, etymology, & much other stuff

we hear about the progression of medicine & its many misleading corridors, & the promise of one day figuring out some of the more puzzling complexities of life - a la how brains grow & develop from single cells...

i thoroughly enjoyed the etymology portions, & checked out Bach as he suggested & will look into Montaigne as an author... 👍👍
