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.

Media Reviews
"An eloquent, thought-provoking dissertation....To read this book is to share [the author's] awe."
-- Kirkus
"As with 'How We Die', Nuland's new book is far more than a rigidly scientific text. In the process of laying out a compendium of factual information, he delivers a far-reaching personal meditation on biology, medicine, and life itself." -- Steve Heilig
-- San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
"The work of Dr. Nuland is an important step toward the creation of a biomedically literate public that is able to influence policy on matters of biological importance." -- F. Gonzalez-Crussi
-- New York Times Book Review
"I recommend Professor Nuland's book for anyone who wants an accessible grasp of recent development in human biology, with the proviso that readers accept it as a mere antipasto." -- John Cornwell
-- Literary Review
The body's regulation of systems works so smoothly that at times it's taken for granted. Dr. Nuland here examines the balance of chemistry and bodily maintenance processes on a cellular level on up, considering the miracle of such interactions and how physical maintenance and operations have interacted with mental processes to produce the unique species that is the human being. This exciting investigation blends biology with medical insights.
-- Midwest Book Review

The Wisdom of the Body
Nuland, Sherwin B
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Alfred A. Knopf Incorporated, 1997. Much has been written about what makes humans distinct from other species, but what makes individual humans different from each other? Part of the answer lies in our responses to life-threatening illness, as Sherwin Nuland shows in this beautifully written meditation on human variability. Nuland explains biology and advanced medical procedures and makes them seem no more complicated than a good baseball game, and at least as exciting. Mostly, though, Nuland finds the human spirit within these complex systems, and the reader can be as exhilarated by his findings as he is. From Library Journal In this engrossing book, Nuland, author of the prize-winning How We Die, has turned his medical knowledge to the wonder of life. He offers a lucid anatomical and physiological tour of the human body, from cells and DNA to tissues and organs, reinforcing the sense of wonder with strategic case studies from his medical experience at Yale Medical School. Interspersed throughout is a discussion of the gnawing issue of what constitutes the mystery of life:. ISBN: 0679444076. 3rd. Printing. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
