It does have some book by him, though. Thanks, I'll take a look!<br /><br />Yeah, it hurts Cell at Work that the subject matter is so limited.

One immune system battle after another. This volume would have been more interesting if the author had interleaved other cell functions between the immune responses.<br /><br />Tangentially, you might find the writings of Fritz Kahn interesting - who represented the internal functions of human beings as machinery operated by little homunculi. A good introduction to his works is "Fritz Kahn: Infographics Pioneer," by Uta and Thilo von Debschitz.Ron Kiharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984684205857807116noreply@blogger.com
