An anatomy of human life, vividly illustrated. . . . Awe-inspiring [and] sublimely uplifting.

--Time

Having won the National Book Award for How We Die, his best-selling inquiry into the causes and modes of death, Sherwin Nuland now turns his attention to the miraculous resiliency of human life. For this lucid, wonderful, and wonder-filled new book explores the body's mysterious capacity to marshal disparate organs and processes in the interests of survival.

Like its predecessor, How We Live is filled with gripping medical case histories: a woman is pulled back from the brink of death from inexplicable internal bleeding; another patient triumphs over breast cancer; the "routine" removal of a polyp triggers a nearly lethal medical crisis. For Nuland, each of these cases serves to illustrate the extraordinary responsiveness and adaptability of the human organism. We learn how the aorta's baroreceptors monitor blood pressure and respond to its minutest fluctuations. We follow the intricate chain of electrochemical command that makes us leap out of the path of a speeding car. We discover why the stomach--which is capable of breaking down everything from porridge to pizza--refrains from digesting itself. Informed by sympathy for human suffering and an erudition that includes poetry and the Talmud as well as the medical canon, How We Live is science writing of the rarest kind--lucid, poetic, and genuinely uplifting.

如何有价值地生活?如何有尊严地死去?人看上去如此矛盾,既为生命的韧性所折服,又在生命的无常面前手足无措。死亡作为一件不可被经验的事,我们更多恐惧的其实是走向死亡的过程,我们无法选择在何时以何种方式死去。海德格尔提出的“畏”的情绪来源于对自身有限性的恐惧,如...

记得是大一时候从北大图书馆借来看的这本书,那会儿还连医学生也算不上呢。不过是这本书和当时半个月一次的临床早接触带我走进神圣的医学殿堂,喜欢上医生这个职业的。现在博士毕业了,可心里对生命最初的感叹和敬畏仍未消灭。向低年级的同志们推荐,它比医学生誓言有用;也向...

2014年3月,《生命的脸》作者努兰医生在家中逝世,《纽约时报》用此标题作为纪念:“舍温•努兰,写《死亡的脸》的那个人,去世了,享年83岁。”的确,《死亡的脸:HOW WE DIE》作为努兰医生先入为主的优秀作品,曾被誉为经典,并为努兰赢得了美国国家图书奖的殊荣。 然而,...

这本翻译的比《死亡的脸》要好多了。 对自己的身体有认知,是一件非常重要的事情。 从对生命产生敬畏的这个个意义上来讲,努兰医生写这两本书的实际贡献远远大于给读者带来阅读的快感。 不要随意的对待身体,不要轻视生命,不要消极的对待活在世上的每一天。

最近经历了一些事情开始考虑生死的问题。于是买了外科医生手记这套由一位美国著名外科医生多年的行医笔记整理而成的一部书。书分为上下两部 生命的脸 和死亡的脸。生命的脸 给人很多启示。这位医生处理过各种情况下的身体,把他们从死亡的边缘拉回来。这本书给人很多正面的激励...
