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.

這本翻譯的比《死亡的臉》要好多瞭。 對自己的身體有認知,是一件非常重要的事情。 從對生命産生敬畏的這個個意義上來講,努蘭醫生寫這兩本書的實際貢獻遠遠大於給讀者帶來閱讀的快感。 不要隨意的對待身體,不要輕視生命,不要消極的對待活在世上的每一天。
評分作者是位外科醫生。但這本書除瞭開頭的一次手術緊張程度搞得像《ER》,彆的就是一本加瞭案例的生物教科書嘛! 我們的細胞在進行紛繁復雜的各種活動,狀似混亂,但卻一直有一個淩駕於上的原則,那就是求得生存。為瞭各個部分的配閤,需要進行溝通;主要方式是:電、荷爾濛。我...

評分 評分我有個毛病,在看到或者是聽到破壞身體的事件(車禍現場、大型手術等)有特殊的生理反應(我的神經係統給瞭我大量的電信號),感覺自己身體的某些部位在擰巴中,好像經曆瞭同樣的撞擊和切割,而且四肢開始發軟。 所以讀這本書是一件通透又煎熬的事兒,你從未經意的自身運作被解...
