Fresh Air, Hannah Holmes and Julie Fenster
あらすじ・解説
Science and natural history writer Hannah Holmes and writer Julie Fenster on this edition of Fresh Air. Hannah Holmes' new book is The Secret Life of Dust: From the Cosmos to the Kitchen Counter, the Big Consequences of Little Things. Among the interesting facts you'll find in the book is this: within a juice glass sitting in the sun, you would find 25,000 microscopic pieces of dust, at a minimum.
Julie Fenster's written a new book about the coincidence and circumstance that led to the first use of ether, making surgery painless for the first time. The breakthrough day - known as Ether Day - was October 16, 1846. One of the men behind it was a Boston dentist, William Morton, who was also a conman and an opportunist. Fenster tells the story in her new book, Ether Day: The Strange Tale of America's Greatest Medical Discovery and the Haunted Men Who Made it. (Broadcast Date: August 13, 2001)
