With inimitable wit and a clear, fresh voice, award-winning researcher Frances Ashcroft weaves together compelling real-life stories with the latest scientific findings, giving us a spectacular account of the body electric.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A gem that sparkles.--William Bynum "Wall Street Journal"<br><br>An extraordinary fusion of culture and cutting-edge science.--Nick Smith "Engineering and Technology"<br><br>The human body is a symphony of complicated chemical and electrical signals.
