song of the cell siddhartha mukherjee

Winner of the 2023 PROSE Award for Excellence in Biological and Life Sciences and the 2023 Chautauqua Prize! Named a New York Times Notable Book and a Best Book of the Year by The Economist, Oprah Daily, BookPage, Book Riot, the New York Public Library, and more! In The Song of the Cell, the extraordinary author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning The Emperor of All Maladies and the #1 New York Times bestseller The Gene “blends cutting-edge research, impeccable scholarship, intrepid reporting, and gorgeous prose into an encyclopedic study that reads like a literary page-turner” (Oprah Daily).Mukherjee begins this magnificent story in the late 1600s, when a distinguished English polymath, Robert Hooke, and an eccentric Dutch cloth-merchant, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek looked down their handmade microscopes. What they saw introduced a radical concept that swept through biology and medicine, touching virtually every aspect of the two sciences, and altering both forever. It was the fact that complex living organisms are assemblages of tiny, self-contained, self-regulating units. Our organs, our physiology, our selves—hearts, blood, brains—are built from these compartments. Hooke christened them “cells.” The discovery of cells—and the reframing of the human body as a cellular ecosystem—announced the birth of a new kind of medicine based on the therapeutic manipulations of cells. A hip fracture, a cardiac arrest, Alzheimer’s dementia, AIDS, pneumonia, lung cancer, kidney failure, arthritis, COVID pneumonia—all could be reconceived as the results of cells, or systems of cells, functioning abnormally. And all could be perceived as loci of cellular therapies. Filled with writing so vivid, lucid, and suspenseful that complex science becomes thrilling, The Song of the Cell tells the story of how scientists discovered cells, began to understand them, and are now using that knowledge to create new humans. Told in six parts, and laced with Mukherjee’s own experience as a researcher, a doctor, and a prolific reader, The Song of the Cell is both panoramic and intimate—a masterpiece on what it means to be human. “In an account both lyrical and capacious, Mukherjee takes us through an evolution of human understanding: from the seventeenth-century discovery that humans are made up of cells to our cutting-edge technologies for manipulating and deploying cells for therapeutic purposes” (The New Yorker).

** NEW YORK TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER **The Gene is the story of one of the most powerful and dangerous ideas in our history from the author of The Emperor of All Maladies.The story begins in an Augustinian abbey in 1856, and takes the reader from Darwin’s groundbreaking theory of evolution, to the horrors of Nazi eugenics, to present day and beyond - as we learn to “read” and “write” the human genome that unleashes the potential to change the fates and identities of our children. Majestic in its scope and ambition, The Gene provides us with a definitive account of the epic history of the quest to decipher the master-code that makes and defines humans – and paints a fascinating vision of both humanity’s past and future.

Song of the Sun God spans three continents and three generations of a family that remains dedicated to its homeland, whilst learning to embrace its new home. Nala and Rajan, a young couple, begin their married life in 1946, on the eve of Ceylon’s independence from Britain. Arranged in marriage, they learn to love each other and protect their growing family, against the backdrop of increasing ethnic tension. Funny, warm and tender, we see Nala and Rajan’s family navigate war, migration, old loyalties and new beginnings, relying on the philosophy of their religion, their ancestors and each other. As the country descends into a bloody civil war, Nala and Rajan must decide which path is best for their family; and live with the consequences of their mistakes. Over time, Nala and Rajan teach their family why some parts of their history and heritage are worth holding onto; and why some parts and people have to be left behind. Song of the Sun God is about the wisdom, mistakes and sacrifices of our past that enable us to live more freely in the future. PRAISE FOR SONG OF THE SUN GOD ‘an emotive and insightful read.’ – The Saturday Paper ‘a book that doesn’t look away from the brutality of the Sri Lankan conflict – torture, forced displacements and disappearances, cultural destruction and worse – but it also balances horror with humour, and indeed love.’ – Sydney Morning Herald ‘[Chandran] does not shy from the horror of war yet holds hope for mankind.’ – The Weekend Australian ‘a rich heritage tapestry to embrace’ The Australian Women's Weekly ‘a sweeping tale of love, duty and migration’ – The West Weekend

Originální umění: Původní ilustrace ze série Irská folklórní trilogie od Cartoon Saloon Období: 2008–2020 Region: Irsko Keltská mytologie a dechberoucí animace ožívají v této jedinečné kolekci papírenských produktů, vytvořené ve spolupráci s irským animačním studiem Cartoon Saloon. Silné příběhy a podmanivá vizuální stránka studia si získaly srdce diváků všech věkových kategorií. Díky působivému originálnímu umění a fascinujícím scénám je spojení, které cítíme s těmito emotivními příběhy, naprosto jedinečné.Obzvláště blízká nám je oslavovaná Irská folklórní trilogie, série pohádek nominovaných na Oscara, které diváky přenášejí do bohatých a podmanivých světů plných univerzálních témat a emocí.Studio Cartoon Saloon dává přednost tradičnímu ručně kreslenému stylu animace, a tak v jeho filmech ožívají propracované, vířivé vzory starověkého irského umění. Tento přístup jej odlišuje od současného animačního světa, který se téměř zcela přesunul do digitálního prostředí. Sdílené hodnoty a vášeň pro umění učinily tuto spolupráci zcela přirozenou. Máme obrovskou radost, že Tomm Moore, režisér několika nejúspěšnějších filmů studia, pro nás exkluzivně vytvořil originální ilustrace na přebaly této kolekce.Na tomto produktu je reprodukováno umění z filmu Píseň moře (Song of the Sea, 2009), druhého dílu Irské folklórní trilogie. Tomm Moore chtěl vytvořit moderní pohádku inspirovanou tradičními irskými vypravěči známými jako seanachai. Film čerpá z několika keltských mýtů a lidových příběhů, které jsou citlivě vetkány do jeho vyprávění.Píseň moře je jediným filmem trilogie zasazeným do moderní doby. Hlavní zápletka se inspiruje mytologickými selkiemi, kouzelnými bytostmi z irského folklóru, které žijí jako tuleni v moři, ale na souši se mění v lidi. Příběh sleduje osud malého irského chlapce, jenž zjistí, že jeho němá sestra Saoirse, kterou viní ze smrti jejich matky, je ve skutečnosti selkie. Aby zachránila kouzelné bytosti před keltskou bohyní Machou, musí se vydat na neobyčejnou cestu.Píseň moře je nádhernou a nadčasovou poctou irské vypravěčské tradici a moudrosti, která přetrvává po generace.

‘Dr. Radosavljević has an excellent and extensive grasp of her subject, and deep understanding of not only the history of these groups, but how they function, and how each contributes to the field of ensemble theatre.’ – David Crespy, University of Missouri, USAQuestions of ensemble – what it is, how it works – are both inherent to a variety of Western theatre traditions, and re-emerging and evolving in striking new ways in the twenty-first century. The Contemporary Ensemble draws together an unprecedented range of original interviews with world-renowned theatre-makers in order to directly address both the former and latter concerns. Reflecting on ‘the ensemble way of working’ within this major new resource are figures including: Michael Boyd, Hermann Wündrich, Yuri Butusov, Max Stafford-Clark, Elizabeth LeCompte, Lyn Gardner, Adriano Shaplin, Phelim McDermott; and Emma Rice;representing companies including:The RSC; The Berliner Ensemble; The Satirikon Theatre; Out of Joint; The Wooster Group; Kneehigh Theatre; Song of the Goat; The Riot Group; The Neo-Futurists; Shadow Casters; and Ontroerend Goed.All 22 interviews were conducted especially for the collection, and draw upon the author’s rich background working as scholar, educator and dramaturg with a variety of ensembles. The resulting compendium radically re-situates the ensemble in the context of globalisation, higher education and simplistic understandings of ‘text-based’ and ‘devised’ theatre practice, and traces a compelling new line through the contemporary theatre landscape.

Improve your lifelong health and well-being by understanding what mitochondria really do for you, and how through small lifestyle changes, these awe-inspiring powerhouses can better your life.Have you ever wondered what makes every heartbeat, every thought, and every movement possible? Meet your mitochondria—tiny but mighty organelles that are the true engines of life. These organelles are popularly known as the “powerhouses of the cell,” but new research shows that the mitochondria do more than just convert food into energy—they’re orchestrators of critical functions that keep you healthy and alive. This groundbreaking book by a leading scientist from Stanford University School of Medicine and her husband, a bestselling author, is the first to provide a comprehensive yet easy-to-understand look at mitochondria and their vital role in human health. It is based on the premise that healthy mitochondria are the key to healthy cells and, thus, to healthy tissues, healthy organs, and a healthy body. The Life Machines provides practical and fundamental principles that you can use to unlock your body’s full potential, answering questions like: -How does exercise help mitochondria improve your muscles and your brain? -What nutrients do mitochondria thrive on, and how is your gut microbiome involved? -How can developing better sleeping habits improve your mitochondrial health? -Why relaxing and managing stress will reduce damage to your mitochondria? -How can you protect your mitochondria from toxins in the environment? -Why mitochondria are the key to healthy aging We are only as healthy as our mitochondria. Dysfunction of these organelles has been linked to diseases and conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, type 2 diabetes, heart diseases, cancer, depression, autism spectrum disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome, and infertility. Now, the remarkable progress in understanding the mitochondrial role in these ailments will shape the future of medicine. Packed with surprising facts, you’ll read about “mitochondrial Eve” who lived in Africa 200,000 years ago; tiny rotors that spin inside your body at fantastic speed; how cancer cells steal mitochondria from immune cells; how mitochondria help shape a baby’s fingers and brain; how mitochondria in your thighs are linked to your cognitive capacity, and more. Skillfully weaving cutting-edge scientific discoveries, expert testimonies, personal stories, and practical insights, The Life Machines is inspiring and hopeful, empowering you to adopt lifestyle changes that will benefit the smallest—and yet most crucial—parts of the human body.

Vědecký thriller o zhoubném bujení překvapuje čtenáře na celém světě svým strhujícím tempem a hluboce lidským vyzněním. Jeho autor Siddharta Mukherjee, lékař, vědec a oceňovaný spisovatel, se na nádorové onemocnění dívá s precizností buněčného biologa, s nadhledem historika a se zaujetím životopisce. Výsledkem je úžasně poutavá kronika nemoci, s níž lidé žijí a umírají více než pět tisíc let. Příběh rakoviny začíná prvními doloženými zmínkami ve starověku, graduje epochální bitvou ve dvacátém století, kdy se lidé snažili nemoc vyléčit, ovládnout a porazit, a zatím končí radikálně novým pochopením její podstaty. Skutečnými hrdiny této biografie jsou však lidé svádějící neuvěřitelně těžký zápas o život - od perské královny Atossy, jíž řecký otrok vyřízl maligní nádor z prsu, přes první pokusy s jednoduchou radiací a chemoterapií v devatenáctém století až po Mukherjeeho vlastní pacientku Carlu. Příběh rakoviny je totiž příběhem lidské vynalézavosti, houževnatosti a vytrvalosti, ale také arogance, povýšenosti a nepochopení. Mukherjee líčí staletí objevů, omylů, vítězství a úmrtí, promlouvá ústy svých předchůdců i současníků, kteří zasvětili všechen důvtip souboji s nekonečně vynalézavým protivníkem. S protivníkem, o němž se ještě před třemi desítkami let domnívali, že ho jednou provždy porazí. Vládkyně všech nemocí nabízí také fascinující pohled do budoucnosti léčby rakoviny. Je to velmi poučná kniha, která přináší naději a světlo těm, kdo chtějí této nemoci porozumět. Siddhartha Mukherjee byl za své dílo oceněn Pulitzerovou cenou (2011) a cenou deníku Guardian. Časopis TIME knihu zařadil mezi 100 nejvlivnějších anglických knih od roku 1923 a New York Times Magazine mezi 100 nejlepších odborných knih všech dob.

Americký onkolog, vědec a spisovatel, dobře známý i českým čtenářům díky překladům svých dřívějších významných děl Vládkyně všech nemocí. Příběh rakoviny (2015) a Gen. O dědičnosti v našich osudech (2019), která vyšla v nakladatelství Munipress, přichází s novým strhujícím příběhem. Píseň buňky vypráví o tom, jak vědci postupně objevovali a od 17. století i pozorovali buňky, základní jednotky živých organismů. O tom, jak se postupně učili poznávat životně důležitá vzájemná propojení, která vytvářejí tkáně, orgány a orgánové systémy, buněčnou provázanost, jež dává vzniknout tak úžasným fyziologickým funkcím, jako je imunita, reprodukce, schopnost vnímat, chápat, opravovat a omlazovat. Ale i o tom, co se stane, když buňky selžou a vývoj se zvrhne patologickým směrem. A konečně i o tom, jak díky neustálému rozšiřování a prohlubování lidských znalostí o buněčné fyziologii a patologii dochází k revolučním změnám v biologii a medicíně.Zlomenina kyčelního kloubu, zástava srdce, Alzheimerova choroba, selhání ledvin, artritida, zápal plic nebo covid – to vše nyní díky autorovi můžeme vidět zcela novým pohledem a chápat jako důsledek abnormálního fungování buněk nebo jejich systémů. Otevírá se nám tak cesta k novému druhu medicíny, která je založena na terapeutické úpravě buňky, vyvíjí nové léky, nové způsoby léčby a přináší nové cesty k uzdravování a proměně lidského těla.Poutavé odborné výklady, při nichž Mukherjee mistrovsky uplatňuje svůj vypravěčský talent, jsou protkány příběhy ze života dávných i současných badatelů, vlastními zážitky a někdy i bolestnými vzpomínkami na pacienty a přátele, které mu vzala nemoc.

Benvenuto Cellini is an artist-craftsman, one of the greatest sculptors in the renaissance, passionately devoted to art, the worshipper and frequenter of the great men of his time, the 'divine' Michelangelo, who came to his studio, the 'marvellous' Titian (the adjectives are Cellini's ). He loathed the sculptor Torregiano because he had broken Michelangelo's nose.His autobiography gives a quite extraordinarily vivid account of daily life in Renaissance Florence and Rome, its studios, its taverns, its violence, his loves, the kings, cardinals and popes who commission his works. At 27 he helps direct the defence of the castello San Angelo; his account of his imprisonment there under a mad castellan (who thought he was a bat), his escape by an improvised rope, his recapture, his confinement in 'a cell of tarantulas and venomous worms' is a chapter of adventure equal to any in fact or fiction.Later he describes burning all his furniture to achieve sufficient heat to cast of one of his most famous works, Perseus and the Head of Medusa. Cellini's Life was translated by Goethe into German. The Everyman translation by Anne Macdonell (1903) is widely recognised as the most faithful to the energy and spirit of the original.

A fully annotated, deluxe hardcover edition of one of Aleister Crowley’s formative works• Presents Crowley’s preferred text, drawing on all existing draft manuscripts and margin notes from Crowley’s personal copies• Contains an introduction and explanatory notes by Crowley biographer Richard Kaczynski, helping to illuminate obscure passages and references• Includes Crowley’s mystical essays on his first forays into sex magic, his initial embrace of the legendary title of “the Beast,” and his encounters with the Golden Dawn, Buddhism, Agnosticism, and ChristianityToo inflammatory for English publishers, Aleister Crowley printed The Sword of Song, his first talismanic work, in Paris in 1904, releasing a mere one hundred copies. Deconstructing his encounters with the Golden Dawn, Buddhism, Agnosticism, and Christianity, the book explored Crowley’s magic and spiritual philosophy before he experienced the revelation that led to The Book of the Law. The Sword of Song also contained Crowley’s first manifesto, his first forays into sex magic, his initial embrace of the legendary title of "the Beast," the occult poem "Ascension Day," and mystical essays.Now in this fully annotated deluxe hardcover edition, renowned Crowley biographer Richard Kaczynski presents Crowley’s preferred text for The Sword of Song, drawing on all existing draft manuscripts as well as unpublished margin notes from Crowley’s personal copies of the book. Kaczynski clarifies all the significant changes and additions throughout the book’s various iterations and provides explanations for the many occult and popular culture references. He also includes a substantial scholarly introduction, reflecting an intimate knowledge of Crowley and the development of his magical practice.Kaczynski demonstrates how The Sword of Song was not only a prototype for Crowley’s later works such as Konx Om Pax and The Book of Lies, but that The Sword of Song''s blend of poetry, allegory, fiction, and essay reveals the formative inner workings of one of the twentieth century’s most provocative thinkers just before he received the life-changing Book of the Law from the discarnate entity Aiwass.
