For much of recorded history, people considered the heart to be the most important organ in the body. In cultures around the world, the heart—not the brain—was believed to be the location of intelligence, memory, emotion, and the soul. Over time, views on the purpose of the heart have transformed. Modern medicine and science dismissed what was once the king of the organs as a mere blood pump subservient to the brain, yet the heart remains a potent symbol of love and health and an important part of our cultural iconography.

A comprehensive history of the heart from prehistoric times to present in an easy and enjoyable read. Packed with great facts and stories. Apparently not meant for the snooty academic types. For the rest of the reading public this is a fun and educational read.
