W. Norton & CompanyInStock/Ebooks/<p><strong>Acclaimed biologist Lewis Wolpert eloquently narrates the basics of human life through the lens of its smallest component: the cell.</strong></p><p>Everything about our existence imagination and reproduction, birth and deathis governed by our cells. They are the basis of all life in the universe, from the tiniest of bacteria to the most complex of animals. Genes in developing embryos determine the makeup of individuals, and the rapid firing between nerve cells creates the spirit of who we are. When we age, our cells cannot repair the damage they have undergone; when we get ill, it is because cells are so damaged they stop working and die.</p><p>In the tradition of Lewis Thomass science classic <em>The Lives of a Cell</em>, Wolpert, an internationally acclaimed embryologist, draws on the recent discoveries of genetics to demonstrate how human life derives from a single cell and then grows into a body: an incredibly complex society made up of billions of cells. Wolpert sensitively examines the science behind often controversial research topics that are much discussed by rarely understoodstem cell research, cloning, DNA, and mutating cancer cellsall the while illuminating how the intricacies of cellular behavior bear directly on human behavior.</p><p>Wolpert isnt afraid to tackle the tough questions, including how and why single cells evolved into complex organisms and, first and foremost, what gave rise to the original cell, the origin of all life. Lively and passionate, <em>How We Live and Why We Die</em> is both an accessible guide to understanding the human body and a deeply reverent meditation on life itself.</p>...3087061How We Live and Why We Die: The Secret Lives of Cells308428https://www.gandhi.com.mx/how-we-live-and-why-we-die-the-secret-lives-of-cells-9780393292725/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2935644/7b7ea376-ef32-4c0c-8c69-8cf5a6bbdf23.jpg?v=638384651983730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20119780393292725_W3siaWQiOiI3MWE5ZmQwYi05ZTlhLTQzZjEtYmY0Zi04NmFmOTUwMjgzYTQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjMxOSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjczLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjI0NiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780393292725_<p><strong>Acclaimed biologist Lewis Wolpert eloquently narrates the basics of human life through the lens of its smallest component: the cell.</strong></p><p>Everything about our existence imagination and reproduction, birth and deathis governed by our cells.
