Synopsis of How We Live
En este libro, Sherwin Nuland explora la asombrosa capacidad del cuerpo humano para organizar diversos órganos y procesos en aras de la supervivencia. A través de casos médicos fascinantes, Nuland ilustra la capacidad de respuesta y adaptabilidad del organismo humano, mostrando cómo el cuerpo se defiende y se cura a sí mismo. Con una erudición que abarca desde la poesía hasta el canon médico, Nuland ofrece una visión lúcida y poética de la ciencia, que resulta a la vez informativa e inspiradora. El autor explica cómo los barorreceptores de la aorta controlan la presión arterial y responden a sus más mínimas fluctuaciones. Seguimos la intrincada cadena de mando electroquímico que nos hace saltar del camino de un coche que se aproxima a gran velocidad. Descubrimos por qué el estómago, capaz de descomponerlo todo, desde las gachas hasta la pizza, se abstiene de digerirse a sí mismo.
