Description
Cells are the basis of all life in the universe. Our bodies are made up of billions of them, governing everything from movement to memory and imagination. In "How We Live and Why We Die: The Secret Lives of Cells", biologist Lewis Wolpert explains how these tiny organisms provide the answers to fundamental questions about our lives. Wolpert delves into the science that underpins our existence, explaining how our bodies function and derive from a single cell - the egg. He examines topics such as stem-cell research, cloning, and DNA, shedding light on how all life evolved from just one cell. This accessible guide offers a clear understanding of the human body and, ultimately, life itself. Lively and passionate, "How We Live and Why We Die" is an engaging exploration of the intricate world of cells and their role in our lives.
