This is Professor Davis’s third book and it is just as good as his previous books. His writing is intriguing and exciting. He makes the information easy to read and understand. Boy are we advancing in learning more about our bodies and all its cells. It is very exciting to see what the future holds. We may have difficult choices to make for own unique selves in the future. I suppose this is good thing.
The most fascinating thing I learned from his book was that there is a new world wide science project going on. It is called The Human Cell Atlas. They are mapping every cell in the human body and its functions. Thanks to the advancement of new equipment and techniques we are advancing quite quickly. They have already found two new lung cells and a new immune cell. I suppose we are really just at the infancy of knowing what makes us us. This is very exciting and I’m sure it will take a long time to finish, just like the mapping of the human genome. The human body is a machine of many miracles, approximately 37,000 billion billion chemical reactions per second happen. Wow, that is a lot of information we will someday know more about. This project could bring great advances in our health and disease treatment. As a mother of a Type I Diabetic, I hope they find another key that allows glucose into our cells beside insulin. Maybe there is one that is easier for patients to manage. Our bodies have many back up systems so it wouldn’t surprise me if there is one for this. During heavy exercise the body gobbles up glucose, especially the muscle cells, so I bet there is another mechanism. This is so exciting and I hope I will live to see some amazing treatments and health advancements. This is a great book and I recommend it to anyone who likes human biology.
