Perceptive and smooth survey of evolving American attitudes about birth, life, and death during 150 years of immense scientific advancement...and how those attitudes became enmeshed with politics. As usual Lepore delivers stimulating insights and her writing sparkles. P.S.-henceforth you may not consider board games as just for kids. ~ Reviewed by Bill Lewis
