The irrational yet irrestible urge to know or make known. The CC is a "club" founded by a small group of medical professionals, who have made a pastime of turning medical cases and discussions into medically irrelevant history lessons, philosophical rants, and displays of one-upsmanship. The official premise, since the "club" was named, has been to exchange and discuss various books, movies, and ideas. Sometimes we eat sushi.
I am finishing the short book "Longitude" by Dava Sobel and I think you will find it fascinating. It combines history and science and determination. I highly recommend it. She also wrote "Galileo's Daughter" which I have not read but was recommended by the same friend who gave me the 1st book mentioned. I also have lost the web site address that we both frequent so send it to my e-mail please.
