AM Book Club

Thursday, October 15

11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Location: Shorewood Public Library Program Room

The AM Book Club is a great opportunity to talk about what you’ve read, learn something new, discover more great books, and meet new friends. Join us this month as we discuss Replaceable You: Adventures in Human Anatomy by Mary Roach.

The body is the most complex machine, and the only one for which we can’t get a replacement part from the manufacturer. For centuries, medicine has reached for what's available--sculpting noses from brass, borrowing skin from frogs and hearts from pigs, crafting eye parts from jet canopies and breasts from petroleum byproducts. Today, we're attempting to grow body parts from scratch using stem cells and 3D printers. How are we doing? Roach immerses readers in the wondrous, improbable, and surreal quest to build a new you.

 

Pick up a copy at the customer service desk, or give us a call at 414 847-2670, and we would be happy to put one on hold for you.
