520 "From the kidnapping of Einstein's brain to the horrifying
end of Louis XIV's heart, the mysteries surrounding some
of history's most famous body parts range from medical to
macabre. Carlyn Beccia explores the misadventures of
noteworthy body parts through history and uses them as
springboards for exploring topics such as forensics, DNA
testing, brain science, organ donation, and cloning. The
engaging, conversational tone of the text, the wonderfully
creepy subject matter, and the delightfully detailed art
are sure to capture even the most reluctant readers. The
famous people and their body parts include: Galileo
Galilei / Fingers Louis XIV / Heart George Washington /
Teeth Franz Hayden / Head Beethoven / Hair Abraham Lincoln
/ Body Cheng and Eng Bunker / Liver Phineas Gage / Skull
John Wilkes Booth / Neck vertebrae Vincent Van Gogh / Ear
Sarah Bernhardt / Leg Mata Hari / Head Albert Einstein /
Brain Elvis Presley / Wart Thomas Edison / Last Breath"--
