520    "Your body has trillions of cells, and each one has the 
       complexity and dynamism of a city. Your life, your 
       thoughts, your diseases, and your health are all the 
       function of cells. But what do you really know about what 
       goes on inside you? The last time most people thought 
       about cells in any detail was probably in high school or a
       college general biology class. But the field of cell 
       biology has advanced incredibly rapidly in recent decades,
       and a great deal of what we may have learned in high 
       school and college is no longer accurate or particularly 
       relevant. The Cell: Inside the Microscopic World that 
       Determines Our Health, Our Consciousness, and Our Future 
       is a fascinating story of the incredible complexity and 
       dynamism inside the cell and of the fantastic advancements
       in our understanding of this microscopic world. Dr. Joshua
       Z. Rappoport is at the forefront of this field, and he 
       will take you on a journey to discover: A deeper 
       understanding of how cells work and the basic nature of 
       life on earth. Fascinating histories of some of the key 
       discoveries from the seventeenth century to the last 
       decade and provocative thoughts on the current state of 
       academic research. The knowledge required to better 
       understand the new developments that are announced almost 
       weekly in science and health care, such as cancer, 
       cellular therapies, and the potential promise of stem 
       cells. The ability to make better decisions about health 
       and to debunk the misinformation that comes in daily via 
       media. Using the latest scientific research, The Cell 
       illustrates the diversity of cell biology and what it all 
       means for your everyday life"--|cProvided by publisher.
