The Do No Harm by Henry Marsh is the first book in the new series of popular science POP SCIENCE published by Brainfood. The POP SCIENCE series aims to introduce the Greek audience to some of the most significant works of leading contemporary scientists, in elegantly designed editions, with careful and accessible translations for the general reading public.

What is it like to be a neurosurgeon? How do you feel when you hold a life in your hands, when your scalpel cuts into that essence that creates thoughts, emotions, and logic? And how do you deal with the consequences when everything goes wrong?

The international bestseller Do No Harm uniquely presents the achievements and failures of a life dedicated to the surgery of the human brain. With remarkable candor and compassion, pioneering neurosurgeon Henry Marsh reveals the thrilling intensity of surgery, the chaos and confusion that prevail in a busy modern hospital, and, most importantly, the need for hope that one feels when faced with the most agonizing decisions in life.

"How come no one has written a book like this before? A great neurosurgeon tells his stories with great tenderness and deep awareness, without ever claiming infallibility... What a bloody, wonderful book!" - Observer
