DR MUTTER’S MARVELS Makes Seven “BEST OF 2014″ Lists
January 4, 2015Cristin is humbled & honored the seven different publications named Dr Mütter’s Marvels as one of their “Best Books of 2014.” Amazon.com named it as one of their Best Science Books of 2014, as did NPR’s Science Friday, US trade publication Library Journal and the UK newspaper The Guardian. The Onion’s AV Club named it one of their best books of 2014, noting “The book is ceaselessly interesting but not showy, and Aptowicz expertly paints the scenes with broad brushstrokes and tiny details. It’s a nearly perfect piece of non-fiction.” School Library Journal named it one of 2014′s Best Adult Books 4 Teens, noting, “Dr. Mütter’s larger-than-life, showman’s personality and incredible medical advancements pair thrillingly with Aptowicz’s enthusiastic writing to deliver many unbelievable facts that readers will need to share with friends.” And lastly, NJ’s own Asbury Park Press named it the Best Book of the Year, noting “A truly Philadelphian saga deftly told by City of Brotherly Love native Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz, Dr. Mütter’s Marvels is a comprehensive and engaging biography of 19th-century surgeon, teacher and author Dr. Thomas Dent Mütter. Best known these days as the founding force behind the Mütter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, Mütter was essential at shaping the course of medicine in innumerable ways, and Aptowicz navigates his too-short and highly influential life expertly.”
