The Song Of The Cell An Exploration Of

Another excellent book by Siddhartha Mukherjee !! Paper quality is also good.

Huge fan of Mr. Siddharth Mukherjee. Absolutely mind blowing book from a great physician

At few places it was too technical to follow.But a good read and a good book to broaden your knowledge in medicine, chemistry.The author has given an Introduction to cancer, cures and also challenges.

The book provides a very structured oddessey through fundamentals of cellular biology. It is very engaging read, with one of the most well written epilogues that I have come accross. I will surely recommend this book and encourage the reader to follow up with the author's other two publications "The Emperor of All Maladies" and "The Gene". All in all time well spent.

One of the best books I have ever read (non fiction) , you have to pay a great deal of attention to read and comprehend it , it could be tough at times , but it gives feelings of immense satisfaction when you make it through.

I am aware of the writing style of Dr. S. Mukherjee from his book the 'Gene'. This is how science should be written and taught. Science is not an isolated domain of knowledge, it is integrated to society. Dr. Siddharth knows this pretty well. The book is really song of the Cell and has been beautifully sung by the author.If you keep interest in science and fascinated about what cell actually is, you must read this book. I can assure you the writing would not let you feel bored.Happy reading.

I have previoulsy read and enjoyed the emperor of all maladies , and this one is equally exciting.The chapters contain a very good mix of history , real life case studies , knowledge and the story telling is very good.After completing the book I feel sad that its over , so many lovely stories and personal accounts.It gives a great summary of the science of the cell and the therapies that are being envisioned around the cell . Those involved with biotechnology , biopharmaceuticals will love it.Authors like him make non fiction more exciting than fiction and a big thanks to him.

We all know siddarth Mukherjee as a brilliant and passionate onco-hematologist, but he has a great story teller inside him.The way he presents the things is captivating.Another nice read after " Gene"

Muito muito bom!Recomendo.

Trata temas científicos de manera amena y con lenguaje no muy técnico, lo que facilita su lectura.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to expand their understanding of what medicine has been, what it is, and what it could one day become.

I really enjoyed this review of the cell. As a health professional it helped to review the workings of the cell the basic building block of life. The book was very thought provoking and gave us a snapshot of where cell biology is headed and the incredible potential it promises. A very good and worthwhile read.

For those interested in cell biology this is very readable and quite fascinating. It would help the reader if you had a reasonable knowledge of the subject.
