Copernicus 1996. Hardcover. Good. Unclipped dust jacket. Extensively illustrated. Glossary. Index with a few words underlined in red. Focusing on the extraordinary progress made recently in understanding life at the level of molecules Goodsell guides us through such discoveries as why cyanide poisons us so quickly what the single enzyme is that makes some of us lactose intolerant and how cholesterol can be a double-edged sword: essential in our membranes but harmful in our blood. This is a remarkable journey through a world both familiar and mysterious of our own bodies.
