For thousands of years, man believed that all his mind and feelings were contained within the heart. Aristotle associated the heart with the soul and considered it a source of heat, while the brain was seen as merely a "refrigerator" designed to cool the hot heart. So why have things changed?
In this book, cardiologist and researcher Vincent M. Figueredo explains what the heart meant in different cultures, how perceptions of the heart have changed from the dawn of civilization to the present day, and how scientific thought has influenced advances in modern cardiology. - What did our ancestors think about the heart? - What does it represent in culture, art, and science? - How have ideas about the heart changed the world? - Is there a connection between the heart and the brain? - Can we live without the heart? This book will show the whole history of mankind and explain where our ancient ancestors went wrong in their thinking about the heart, and where they were ahead of even us.
