In honor of Valentine’s Day, I’m looking at books in our collection that are about the human heart—whether it’s literal or metaphorical.
The Little Heart Book by Douglas Wetherill and
illustrated by Laura L. Seeley (ISBN 1892807017, call number RC681 .L55 1998)
is little indeed, but it serves as a good introduction to learning about the
title organ, including its anatomy and risk factors and prevention.
You can find other books on the heart by using the online
catalog (http://ihelib.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-do-i-use-our-online-catalog-to-find.html)
or by browsing the bookshelves. You can
find books on internal medicine in the RC section of the bookshelves; books on
the cardiovascular system have call numbers between RC666 and RC701. For titles about electrocardiographs, which
you will need to know about if you are in the Medical Assisting or EKG program,
look at the many books by the call number RC683.5.E5, especially if you’d like
to use a book other than your textbook to help you understand what you are
learning about in class. For books on
arrhythmias and disrhythmias, browse the library shelves by the nearby call
number RC685.A65. You may even be in a
situation when you’ll have to give immediate urgent care to someone having
heart problems, so consider looking for books between RC86 and RC88.9—the range
for books about medical emergencies.
Of course, when some people say they want to read about
the heart, they mean something else entirely.
We have some romantic books in our library as well, from classics like
William Shakespeare’s Antony and
Cleopatra (PR2802.A2 B73 1999) to contemporary novels like A. S. Bryant’s Possession:
A Romance (PR6052.Y2 P6 1991). Try different terms in our catalog such as love, heart, romance, or anything else. If you don’t want romance, try other
searching for other genres, such as science
fiction, fantasy, horror, historical fiction, or humor.
Of course, if you’re tired of cupids and valentines,
there’s always a very different story about the cardiac organ, Edgar Allen Poe’s
“The Telltale Heart.” You can find this
classic psychological horror in our copies of Anthology of American Literature (PS507 .M24 1980) and Complete Stories and Poems of Edgar Allen
Poe (PS2600 .F66 1966) and online at http://www.literature.org/authors/poe-edgar-allan/tell-tale-heart.html,
