Nine Pints

The book covers a wide range of topics, from medical breakthroughs to cultural beliefs. I'm curious what motivated this particular focus on blood across time and societies.

The detailed stories and scientific insights made me see blood in a totally different light. Did the book change how others think about this everyday yet extraordinary substance?

There’s so much history connected to blood—how did the author choose what made the cut? I wonder if it was driven by personal interest or available research.
