HOW WE LIVE AND WHY WE DIE: THE SECRET LIFE OF CELLS

Book ID/图书代码： 04560008B24819

English Summary/英文概要： Cells are the basis of all life in the universe. Our bodies are made up of billions of them: an incredibly complex society that governs everything, from movement to memory and imagination. When we age, it is because our cells slow down; when we get ill, it is because our cells mutate or stop working.
In How We Live and Why we Die, Wolpert provides a clear explanation of the science that underpins our lives. He explains how our bodies function and how we derived from a single cell - the embryo. He examines the science behind the topics that are much discussed but rarely understood - stem-cell research, cloning, DNA - and explains how all life evolved from just one cell. Lively and passionate, How We Live and Why we Die is an accessible guide to understanding the human body and, essentially, life itself.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 細胞是宇宙萬物的組成最基本元素，我們身體更是由數以百萬的細胞所組成，當細胞的運作趨緩，表示我們面臨老化的階段，當細胞停止作業或過於異常，這時身體也將反映出病變的訊息。作者將從科學及生命的角度為我們闡述細胞的重要性。(VL)
