Preemie incubators got their start as a sideshow act?! True story.

This stunning small book consisted of vignettes of all sizes from a few lines to several pages: some of fantastic fictional cities and their people and the second half consisted of the Chicago "Century of Progress", the amazing fly-over of General Italo Balbo of fascist Italy, and various characters in the exhibits and among the patrons of the exposition. This read like poetry and was exquisitely written. The book was both fiction and fact. The author explains factual information.

The story itself is quite interesting - an early innovator in the incubation of infants who surprisingly was not a licensed physician. Likely Dr. Couney's success was due both to his ability to afford innovative infant care and also to his skills as a showman. While some might question his decision to display infants at World Fairs, few can argue with the fact that he afforded care without charge.

Nonetheless, the book dragged at times. I suspect it was a combination of lack of primary sources and that there was simply not much drama in the story itself.

An interesting but hardly compelling read.

This could have been good but it was all over the place. The organization of the chronology could definitely been better. And there didn't seem to be much to Couney's life, at least with what info was provided. I get that there isn't much known but there could have been information about the state of medicine especially in regards to women and babies at the various times in history.
