A review by reinhardt
The Machinery of Life by David S. Goodsell
5.0
Fascinating, informative, and beautiful.
I learned more about cell mechanism in these 160 pages than in years of reading. Clear illustrations that are tightly linked to the text show in a visual way how the processes in cells work. It is filled with huge words - I mean huge - which usually means I’m getting completely lost in the vocabulary. Not here. The close link to the illustration and the very clear writing make learning almost automatic. Visualizing the processes is a game changer.
If you have any interest in cell mechanisms, how cells make proteins, build structures, reproduce and die, how DNA works at the molecular level, how vitamins, poisons and pain relievers work at the molecular scale, this is the book
