This author is at this time more famous for writing "Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies" which was adapted for television. Song is his third book, and explains how scientists discovered that life is cells, and how they are still discovering how cells interoperate and combine to produce emergent behavior - life, and the many processes necessary for it to continue. Anyone seeking to understand this basic biological unit would do well to read this book. He goes fairly easy on the technical details, but not too easy. It will help you to know the basics of DNA, RNA, and proteins before you start reading but he probably gives you enough to understand most of what he writes. In the post-pandemic era this kind of knowledge, is, I believe, more important than ever for the layman.
I also enjoyed "Cancer..." and his second book which discussed DNA. I recommend all three.

Makes sense in that modern life is more about disharmony than harmony for sure.There supposedly is a cancer epidemic so to speak among the young that experts are baffled about. It doesn't seem to have the same wallop among older populations. Science seems to be dropping its reticence to explore behavioral sources outside the empirical world. I chalk this up to mushrooms flooding the zone. www.cnn.com/2022/10/14/health/early-onset-cancer-increase
