Book Title: The Courage to Fail
Author: Renee Fox and Judith Swazey
Selection Statement:
I first read this book in graduate school and return to it every so often. Every time I read it I learn something new about my own research, nearly 50 years later. The authors’ treatment of the social determinants of an otherwise heavily medicalized process remains trenchant and insightful. Technologies have changed what is possible in organ transplantation, but humans and their relationships remain the backbone of this process.
