A good book.

This book gives you a very complete overview of how people two centuries ago discovered the Cell theory, natural selection theory, many aspects biochemistry and a lot of other very fascinating things. I was amazed that what we are learning within 45 minutes today costed a century of hard work to discover. This book vividly describs how people's understanding about ourselves, about our history and our natural environment changed and changed again and again as new instruments become available, more knowleges were collected and more resources were poured into the study of the science of life. This book is well written, a pleasure read in my standard. It give me a much better understanding of myself. Just so you know, this book is one in a series. Physical Science in middle age. The construction of modern science: Mechanism and Mechanics and one other book that is out of print. For people want to know more about how biology used to be and how many hard works have been done for its study, it is a really good book to buy.
