Story
In The Butchering Art, the historian Lindsey Fitzharris reveals the shocking world of 19th-century surgery on the eve of profound transformation. She conjures up early operating theaters - no place for the squeamish - and surgeons, working before anesthesia, who were lauded for their speed and brute strength. They were baffled by the persistent infections that kept mortality rates stubbornly high. A young, melancholy Quaker surgeon named Joseph Lister would solve the deadly riddle and change the course of history.

Highly Recommend!
I chose to listen to this book since I have been toying with the idea of starting my own chicken coop in hopes of producing fresh and good tasting eggs. I liked how the book is taking a humane approach and prioritizes chicken's well being. Most importantly, for the last few months, I have been reluctant to actually start due to consistent worry about potential desease chickens in my care might get. After listening to this book, I feel more confident to finally get started.
