The Way Life Works The Science Lover's Illustrated Guide to How Life Grows, Develops, Reproduces, and Gets Along

What's perhaps most amazing about life is that all creatures -- from bacteria, viruses, and plants to insects and humans -- use the same small number of ingenious devices to produce their wondrous diversity. The Way Life Works, a unique collaboration between a world-renowned molecular biologist and an award-winning artist, uses visually arresting spreads paired with richly informative text to emphasize not what divides us from one another but what binds us together. This beautiful book will give readers a new appreciation for life's variety and mystery.
