THE UNIVERSE INSIDE YOU: THE EXTREME SCIENCE OF THE HUMAN BODY FROM QUANTUM PHYSICS TO THE MYSTERIES OF THE HUMAN BRAIN
Book ID/图书代码： 06556012B52292
English Summary/英文概要： Fascinating facts and mind-boggling science of the human body. Built from the debris of exploding stars that floated through space for billions of years, home to a zoo of tiny aliens, and controlled by a brain with more possible connections than there are atoms in the universe, the human body is the most incredible thing in existence. In the sequel to his bestselling Inflight Science, Brian Clegg explores mitochondria, in-cell powerhouses which are thought to have once been separate creatures; how your eyes are quantum traps, consuming photons of light from the night sky that have travelled for millions of years; your many senses, which include the ability to detect warps in space and time, and why meeting an attractive person can turn you into a gibbering idiot. Read THE UNIVERSE INSIDE YOU and you’ll never look at yourself the same way again.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 喜欢科学的朋友们有福啦！在这本妙趣横生、独一无二的科普读物中，作者为我们揭开了人体内部许许多多闻所未闻、见所未见的科学秘密。本书一开始就带我们追溯了一段令人啧啧称奇的人类发展史。从几十亿年以前恒星爆炸之际产生了数以万计的碎片，它们漂浮在浩瀚的宇宙中；一直到地球变成了我们可爱的家园……你们知道吗？人脑中的神经元数量比宇宙里的原子总数还要多得多呢！ 因此，人可谓是宇宙里最不可思议的生物体。继闻名全球的畅销书《飞行中的科学》之后, 作者布莱恩•克莱格先生又探索了“线粒体”和“细胞壁”——一直以来，大家都认为这两种是截然不同的生物体; 你的眼睛是如何陷入量子陷阱的——它们如何吸收黑夜里的光束；为什么我们的情感会瞬息万变以及为什么遇见一个有魅力的人可以让你变得语无伦次……
亲爱的读者们，读完这本书后，你们一定会用全新的眼光来看待自己。(Susie)
