Book summary


A treatise on the physiology and meaning of the human body, written by the Yale professor of surgery whose previous work, "How We Die", won the National Book Award. Nuland explores the ways in which the body's biological equilibrium--its instinctual process of corruption and healing--influences and even defines human nature.
