Witty, whimsical images of medicine by a prize-winning artist and illustrator--who is also a physician."Mark Podwal ...shake[s] the brain into fresh juxtapositions of understanding."-Cynthia Ozick "Mark Podwal's original drawings ...reflect his great talent."-Elie Wiesel Mark Podwal may be best known for his political drawings on the New York Times op-ed page. Here, he focuses on the human body as a medical specimen, visually representing the essence of the major public health issues of our time. These strangely beautiful images reveal a master's hand. Mark Podwal's most recent book is Jerusalem Sky (2005); his You Never Know (1998), with Francine Prose, won a National Jewish Book Award. He lives in Harrison, New York.
