An anatomy of human life, vividly illustrated. . . . Awe-inspiring [and] sublimely uplifting.
--Time
Having won the National Book Award for How We Die, his best-selling inquiry into the causes and modes of death, Sherwin Nuland now turns his attention to the miraculous resiliency of human life. For this lucid, wonderful, and wonder-filled new book explores the body's mysterious capacity to marshal disparate organs and processes in the interests of survival.
Like its predecessor, How We Live is filled with gripping medical case histories: a woman is pulled back from the brink of death from inexplicable internal bleeding; another patient triumphs over breast cancer; the "routine" removal of a polyp triggers a nearly lethal medical crisis. For Nuland, each of these cases serves to illustrate the extraordinary responsiveness and adaptability of the human organism. We learn how the aorta's baroreceptors monitor blood pressure and respond to its minutest fluctuations. We follow the intricate chain of electrochemical command that makes us leap out of the path of a speeding car. We discover why the stomach--which is capable of breaking down everything from porridge to pizza--refrains from digesting itself. Informed by sympathy for human suffering and an erudition that includes poetry and the Talmud as well as the medical canon, How We Live is science writing of the rarest kind--lucid, poetic, and genuinely uplifting.

评分如何有价值地生活?如何有尊严地死去?人看上去如此矛盾,既为生命的韧性所折服,又在生命的无常面前手足无措。死亡作为一件不可被经验的事,我们更多恐惧的其实是走向死亡的过程,我们无法选择在何时以何种方式死去。海德格尔提出的“畏”的情绪来源于对自身有限性的恐惧,如...
