舍温·努兰(Sherwin B.Nuland)
作者在耶鲁大学教授外科和医学史,也是《康涅狄格医学》期刊(Connecticut Medicine)的文学编辑和《医学史及相关科学》期刊(Journal of the History of Mecicine and Alied Sciences)的总编。他所著的《麻醉的起源》(The Origins of Anesthesia)被列为医学图书馆的必备经典。
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.

作者是位外科医生。但这本书除了开头的一次手术紧张程度搞得像《ER》,别的就是一本加了案例的生物教科书嘛! 我们的细胞在进行纷繁复杂的各种活动,状似混乱,但却一直有一个凌驾于上的原则,那就是求得生存。为了各个部分的配合,需要进行沟通;主要方式是:电、荷尔蒙。我...
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...
评分这本翻译的比《死亡的脸》要好多了。 对自己的身体有认知,是一件非常重要的事情。 从对生命产生敬畏的这个个意义上来讲,努兰医生写这两本书的实际贡献远远大于给读者带来阅读的快感。 不要随意的对待身体,不要轻视生命,不要消极的对待活在世上的每一天。
评分拿起本书就有一种似曾相识的感觉,细品才知道本书是身体基本知识和手术案例的有机组合。既有专业的医学硬知识,又有许多作者亲历的救死扶伤的手术室故事。 身为生物系毕业生的我对书中的生物学知识很认同,又同时佩服作者对手术案例的文学性描述。其实,我也边读边敬佩翻译的精...
