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.

This book delves into many different facets about everything from how stars are born to the all mysterious black holes in the galaxy. Each chapter covers a different aspect of what’s out there and breaks it down so even a rookie enthusiast like me can understand and learn from it. A great audio to have if you’re curious about what’s out there and how it all came about.

Detailed and informative
This book starts by telling you the difference between Astronomy and Astrology. This book is a scientific , proven book about Astronomy. Then the author gives a history lesson on how the Greeks, Indians and Mayan civilizations influenced scientific findings for outr future, I was shocked to find out how many stars are in Galaxoes. Dwarf galaxies have less than 100 million stars and super galaxies have more than a trilllion stars with 2 more sizes between those sizes. The author explains black holes, our neighboring galaxies and the immense size of galaxies. The book iis detailed, informative, and very entertaining.
