The bestselling author of Intern and Doctored tells the story of the thing that makes us tick

For centuries, the human heart seemed beyond our understanding: an inscrutable shuddering mass that was somehow the driver of emotion and the seat of the soul. As the cardiologist and bestselling author Sandeep Jauhar shows in Heart: A History, it was only recently that we demolished age-old taboos and devised the transformative procedures that have changed the way we live.

Deftly alternating between key historical episodes and his own work, Jauhar tells the colorful and little-known story of the doctors who risked their careers and the patients who risked their lives to know and heal our most vital organ. He introduces us to Daniel Hale Williams, the African American doctor who performed the world's first open heart surgery in Gilded Age Chicago. We meet C. Walton Lillehei, who connected a patient's circulatory system to a healthy donor's, paving the way for the heart-lung machine. And we encounter Wilson Greatbatch, who saved millions by inventing the pacemaker--by accident. Jauhar deftly braids these tales of discovery, hubris, and sorrow with moving accounts of his family's history of heart ailments and the patients he's treated over many years. He also confronts the limits of medical technology, arguing that future progress will depend more on how we choose to live than on the devices we invent. Affecting, engaging, and beautifully written, Heart: A History takes the full measure of the only organ that can move itself.

Deep cleaning and spectacular aroma
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
This cleaner is super effective for removing difficult stains on any surface without leaving sticky residue. I love that the aroma is soft and fresh, in addition to being totally safe to use at home with children and pets.

Subtle smell, works well to pick up dirt!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Has a nice, light smell when added to the Eufy C20 water. Smell is short-lasting and very subtle, so no irritation to the animals in the house. Easy to use, a small amount is recommended, and I find it works well. Very good value for long-lasting use. 1 cap/water refill, and the water is much nastier than it was when using just water. Very pleased with this purchase.

Easy cleaning and pleasant scent.
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
It works very well with the robot vacuum cleaner. It cleans the floor without damaging it, leaves no residue or marks, and leaves a soft, pleasant scent. It lasts a long time and doesn't cause any problems for the device. A very good product; I would definitely buy it again.

So Worth the Purchase !!!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I was a little hesitant to buy this since it’s a bit pricey for a floor-cleaning liquid. Still, I decided to give it a shot because the floor in my new apartment smelled stinky due to the pet urine from the previous tenant. It turned out to be totally worth the investment! The floor gets much cleaner with this product—the dirty water tank ends up way dirtier than usual—and the Eufy mop pads no longer smell bad like they used to without this liquid. Also, just a little goes a long way. I fill the tank to the max with water and add about 15ml of this liquid. The instructions say to dilute 10ml in 2 liters of water, and my tank holds about 2.5 liters. So with one bottle, I can refill the tank around 31 times—which is a lot! Since it needs to be heavily diluted, I don’t notice much of the scent after mopping. I do wish it had a stronger fragrance, but it gets the job done, so I’m very satisfied!

Works good but doesn’t make the house smell nice
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
This works good in our robot vac/mop however it doesn’t make the house smell good when the house is mopped, just when you put it in the water tank. The floors are clean and that’s all I really care about but would it be nice to smell freshly mopped, yes.
