This manual provides comprehensive information for the How We Live and Why We Die: The Secret Lives of Cells, authored by Lewis Wolpert. Published by W. W. Norton & Company on November 30, 2015, this work delves into the fundamental principles of human life, focusing on the cell as the basis of all existence. It explores the intricate processes governing movement, memory, reproduction, and mortality, tracing the development of human life from a single cell to a complex organism. The book also clarifies scientific topics such as stem-cell research, cloning, DNA, and cancer, offering an accessible guide to understanding the human body and life itself.
The purpose of this manual is to serve as a detailed resource for understanding the scientific concepts presented in Lewis Wolpert's exploration of cellular biology. It aims to clarify complex biological processes and scientific advancements for a broad audience, including students, educators, and general readers interested in life sciences. By breaking down intricate subjects into understandable terms, this manual facilitates a deeper appreciation of the fundamental role cells play in all living organisms and the evolution of life on Earth.
Acclaimed biologist Lewis Wolpert eloquently narrates the basics of human life through the lens of its smallest component: the cell.
Everything about our existence-movement and memory, imagination and reproduction, birth, and ultimately death-is governed by our cells. They are the basis of all life in the universe, from bacteria to the most complex animals. In the tradition of the classic
Lives of a Cell, but with the benefit of the latest research, Lewis Wolpert demonstrates how human life grows from a single cell into a body, an incredibly complex society of billions of cells. Wolpert goes on to examine the science behind topics that are much discussed but rarely understood—stem-cell research, cloning, DNA, cancer—and explains how all life on earth evolved from just one cell. Lively and passionate, this is an accessible guide to understanding the human body and life itself.
