What Bliss makes abundantly clear is how relatively young the science of surgery really is. Throughout most of the 19th century, surgeons were relegated to the ‘‘dead-end, last resort crowd,’’ he writes.
Bliss is especially good at chronicling the small, insular worlds of the top-notch hospitals at which Cushing practiced, worlds in which surgeons’ monstrously oversized egos regularly clashed.
As a biographer, Bliss is methodical rather than magically inspired; he gathers all the right facts, and sets them down in the right order, and in an increasingly sloppy, slipshod world, that’s no small feat.

Between The Bullets: The Spiritual Cinema of John Woo, penned by the aptly named Michael Bliss, has no interest in mounting a comprehensive history or analysis of the filmmaker’s oeuvre in a mere 100 pages--Bliss admits as much in the book’s introduction.
Rather, it seeks to put all that onscreen mayhem in its proper context by defending the notion that underneath the noise and movement pervading his work lies a deep sense of Christian values and ideology.
Besides noting the aforementioned motifs of churches and birds, Bliss makes much of Woo’s fascination with sacrifices and dopplegangers, both essential parts of Christian faith that seek to balance the darkness with the light.
