Siddhartha Mukherjee The Song of the Cell : The Story of Life Paperback Book

A profound, human history of biologys most vital idea. From the bestselling, Pulitzer Prizewinning author of The Emperor of All Maladies comes a sweeping exploration of the cell the building block of all living things. In The Song of the Cell, Siddhartha Mukherjee traces how centuries of scientific endeavour and discovery, from early microscopes to stemcell therapy, have transformed medicine and our understanding of what it means to be alive. Woven through this history are stories of patients, scientists, and personal insight. As Mukherjee shows, the cells music is the song of life itself complex, adaptive, and full of wonder. Essential reading for fans of popular science and the history of medicine.
