Widmaier deconstructs the fundamental processes of the human body and focuses on those vital biological substances that aren't particularly well understood. By examining the blueprints that dictate what we are, Widmaier answers questions, including: - Why are some fats worse than others? - Is cholesterol actually good for anything? - How does the stomach digest food? - Why do we need to breathe and why can't we hold our breathfor very long? - How does a single carbon atom contribute to the differencebetween a man and a woman? - Where does our energy come from? The Stuff of Life answers these and many more common questions about how the body works in a concise, easy-to-read handbook complete with illustrations. 549600 1 9 2003 The Stuff of Life: Profiles of the Molecules That Make Us Tick total:6|4:3|3:2|2:1| 6 20 8 2 3 0 false false Sat Feb 07 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 06 07:46:31 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 10:39:02 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Nov 29 09:39:54 -0800 2007 Thu Nov 29 16:10:51 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Tue Oct 13 21:25:32 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 21:25:32 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Feb 19 13:41:10 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 19 13:41:10 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Mon Jan 12 18:46:55 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 12 18:46:55 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Nov 10 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 02:08:14 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 02:11:31 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Wed Jul 23 15:19:46 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 19 08:56:21 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 23 15:19:46 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Jun 23 02:00:53 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 23 02:18:40 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=562456
