"The Physical Lincoln Complete" combines two groundbreaking books
-- "The Physical Lincoln" and "The Physical Lincoln Sourcebook" --
into one handy volume. It is the ultimate guide to the startling
health history of Abraham Lincoln and his family. The first book,
"The Physical Lincoln," offers a solution to one of the most
enduring mysteries in American history: What made Abraham Lincoln
so tall, thin, and less than attractive? What gave him his long
limbs, large feet, high voice, odd lips, sluggish bowels, and
astonishing joint flexibility? The never-before-proposed solution
points to Lincoln's DNA and the rare genetic disorder called MEN2B.
In addition to producing Lincoln's remarkable body shape, MEN2B
gave him a sad-looking face that, for more than 150 years, has been
consistently misinterpreted as depression. It tragically took his
mother and three of his sons at early ages (Eddie, Willie, and
Tad), and it was killing Lincoln in his last years. "The Physical
Lincoln" upends the myth of a physically vibrant President, showing
that, had he not been shot, Lincoln would have died from advanced
cancer in less than a year, the result of MEN2B. Written in clear,
non-technical language for the general reader, and using more than
180 illustrations, "The Physical Lincoln" offers fundamental new
insights into Lincoln, and is the perfect book to stimulate a young
person's interest in science and medicine. The second book, "The
Physical Lincoln Sourcebook," organizes more than 5900
fully-referenced historical facts and three family trees into the
fullest possible medical record for Lincoln and his family members.
Nine special topics explore major issues such as Lincoln's
smallpox, his gait, hisshooting, the possibility that he had
syphilis, and the innumerable medical complaints of Mary Lincoln,
his wife. Heavily annotated throughout, with an extensive
bibliography and an on-line full-text index of the main sections,
"The Physical Lincoln Sourcebook" is the definitive, comprehensive
reference to all facets of Lincoln's anatomy and physiology.
Scholars, Lincoln presenters, and anyone truly wishing to
understand Abraham Lincoln will find it indispensable. See
