捨溫·努蘭(Sherwin B.Nuland)
作者在耶魯大學教授外科和醫學史,也是《康涅狄格醫學》期刊(Connecticut Medicine)的文學編輯和《醫學史及相關科學》期刊(Journal of the History of Mecicine and Alied Sciences)的總編。他所著的《麻醉的起源》(The Origins of Anesthesia)被列為醫學圖書館的必備經典。
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.

評分《生命的脸》:你的生命比你更努力 《生命的脸》是耶鲁大学努兰医生所写的一部关于人的身体内部运作的科普书籍。我们小时候也读过许多关于我们身体的类似著作,那本著名的《生理卫生》曾经让我们对身体大倒胃口,因为这本教科书叙述的内容虽然正与《生命的脸》相同,但是整本...

評分——评《生命的脸》 文/蓦烟如雪 我有个同学,她一家都是医生,小时候去找她玩,都得去医院,记得有一次我们在医院二楼的过道边,听见凄厉的叫喊声,我和她寻声而去,借着遮掩的门,我看见了一个孕妇躺在架子上,两脚绑着,就仅仅这个画面…… 此后有很长的时间我很怕来医院,...
