Reviews the book 'Orwell. Wintry Conscience of a Generation,' by Jeffrey Meyers.

This book presents cardiac surgical information in a very different way, to say the least, to standard texts. It is, we are told, one of a series of the 'Highly Acclaimed Secrets Series'. I have certainly not seen any of the others. The presentation essentially consists of literally thousands of questions posed by the (nearly 60) authors, with brief, to the point answers. Information is divided into reasonably accepted topics that are standard in any major cardiac text, including cardiac physiology, congenital cardiac anomalies and valvular heart disease. The book is certainly extrernely broad based with large sections devoted to off-pump surgery, anaesthesia for cardiac surgery, blood preservation and how to deal with multiple cornplications of cardiac surgery. The presentation is certainly different and novel; the questions asked and subsequently answered by the authors are sensible, typical questions we ask ourselves in our day-to-day practice and the sort of questions we repeatedly put to our trainees. Although the questions thernselves seem highly relevant, the answers are rernarkably didactic, brief and, for the most part, without justification or literature support. Each chapter has a brief list of references bur these references are not acknowledged within the chapter, as is the case in most other standard texts. The references are presurnably listed by the author as evidence that some reading has been done, or are placed as further reading for the interested browser of the book. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
