An anatomy of human life, vividly illustrated. . . .Awe-inspiring [and] sublimely uplifting.
  --Time
  Having won the National Book Award for How We Die, hisbest-selling inquiry into the causes and modes of death, SherwinNuland now turns his attention to the miraculous resiliency ofhuman life. For this lucid, wonderful, and wonder-filled new bookexplores the body's mysterious capacity to marshal disparate organsand processes in the interests of survival.
  Like its predecessor, How We Live is filled with grippingmedical case histories: a woman is pulled back from the brink ofdeath from inexplicable internal bleeding; another patient triumphsover breast cancer; the "routine" removal of a polyp triggers anearly lethal medical crisis. For Nuland, each of these casesserves to illustrate the extraordinary responsiveness andadaptability of the human organism. We learn how the aorta'sbaroreceptors monitor blood pressure and respond to its minutestfluctuations. We follow the intricate chain of electrochemicalcommand that makes us leap out of the path of a speeding car. Wediscover why the stomach--which is capable of breaking downeverything from porridge to pizza--refrains from digesting itself.Informed by sympathy for human suffering and an erudition thatincludes poetry and the Talmud as well as the medical canon, HowWe Live is science writing of the rarest kind--lucid, poetic,and genuinely uplifting.
