Books by Carl Elliott

This deeply moving story chronicles the tenacity and vision that carried Carl Elliott from the hills of northwest Alabama to eight distinguished terms in the United States House of Representatives. The life story of Carl Elliott is full of humour and wry wisdom and explains how he made his way across a stage as big as America.

Drawing on the work of writers such as Wittgenstein, Walker Percy, Paul Auster and Graham Greene, this book brings to the bioethical discussion larger philosophical questions about the sense and significance of human life.

"Elliott's absorbing account will make readers think again about the ways that science shapes our personal identities."-American Scientist
