捨溫·努蘭(Sherwin B.Nuland)
作者在耶魯大學教授外科和醫學史,也是《康涅狄格醫學》期刊(Connecticut Medicine)的文學編輯和《醫學史及相關科學》期刊(Journal of the History of Mecicine and Alied Sciences)的總編。他所著的《麻醉的起源》(The Origins of Anesthesia)被列為醫學圖書館的必備經典。
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.

拿起本书就有一种似曾相识的感觉,细品才知道本书是身体基本知识和手术案例的有机组合。既有专业的医学硬知识,又有许多作者亲历的救死扶伤的手术室故事。 身为生物系毕业生的我对书中的生物学知识很认同,又同时佩服作者对手术案例的文学性描述。其实,我也边读边敬佩翻译的精...
評分看过好几遍。 每一次捧起,就不舍放下。一篇接一篇的啃。 这么精彩的书,为啥少了人气? 以医生的角度写病人,分析病因,检讨医学上的误诊。 这,正不是我所需要的吗。 医改,让百姓看不起病。医生不问哪不舒服,先问带了多少钱有医保没。何时可以像某些国家一样,急诊免费,...
評分这本翻译的比《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。
評分生物体总是对内外无处不在的危险保持警觉,不断在全部组织、体液、细胞中发出互相能够识别的信号,这是一种负责任的保持一致的动态体。在数以万亿数不清次数的以能量为驱动的修正作用下,不适合的变动得到平衡,变化要么被容纳,要么被修正——一切都是为了那份平衡的稳定,这...
