One winner will receive a copy of Bill Schutt's new book. Does the idea of winning a prize make your heart beat a little faster? If so, you may want to enter for a chance to win a copy of "Pump: A Natural History of the Heart" (Sept. 21, Workman Publishing), the new book by writer and zoologist Bill Schutt, in a Live Science giveaway. For millennia, the function and importance of this singular organ has fascinated humans around the world, with ancient civilizations identifying the heart as the source of human emotions and intellect, and the seat of the soul itself. How did this all-important organ evolve, why do some animals' hearts pump natural antifreeze, and will scientists ever be able to grow hearts in the lab? Live Science will explore these and other heart-related questions tomorrow (Sept. 14) at 3:00 p.m. EDT, as we sit down for a live conversation with Schutt about his new book. Join us to find out all about heart-pounding science, from bizarre (by today's medical standards) antiquated approaches to diagnosing and treating perceived heart issues, to modern discoveries that inform state-of-the-art heart therapies, treatments, reconstructions and transplants. Viewers will also have the chance to test their knowledge of heart history, in a Live Science giveaway. At the beginning of the event, we'll pose a trivia question from the pages of "Pump." To enter to win a free copy of "Pump," listen for our trivia question and then correctly answer it in the Facebook comments. We'll randomly pick one winner (see the terms and conditions below). Once the event begins, you'll be able to find the livestream on our Facebook, Twitter or YouTube pages, where you can leave your answer for the giveaway — and ask Schutt your most heartfelt questions about heart science!
