This book has beautiful pictures of various kinds of cells. I only wish that I had known that some of the pictures are of life threatening diseases.

This is a photographic and microscopic vision that leads us through a miraculous phenomena; a journey into the inner space of the natural expression of a deeper order, the most advanced creation on earth--the human being. Quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson, Cicero, Leo Tolstoy, Ecclesiatstes, Jane Goodall, Willa Cather, Socrates, Mark Twain, Charles Darwin, Rabindranath Tagore, The Dalai Lama, St. Thomas Aquinas, Galileo, Thoreau, Winston Churchill, Einstein, Pope John Paul II, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Mother Teresa, Hebrews, T.S. Eliot, Rabbi Kushner, James Joyce, Elie Wiesel, George Bernard Shaw, Buddha, The Qur'an, The Talmud, Lao Tzu (to name a few) suggest that science proves to be a path to God and that the human brain is wired to lead us to that path. (A study done by Dr. Fran Rauscher supports this by using the music of Mozart to examine higher brain function, the spatial and temporal structure of the cortex, spatial-temporal neuronal firing patterns in the cortex, and the trion model of the cortex. Result? High brain function in those who play music as it relates to mathematics and spatial relationships. Dr. Rauscher states, "The brain is pre-wired to function at a higher vibration with the direction of the highly evolved music of Mozart.")
The photos of this book show an exquisite matching of form and function, of individual structures and ingredients being alive only in synergistic relationship to DNA, RNA, and polymers inside the semipermeable membrane of the cell: no single component brings any benefit without the presence of the others.
In the introduction, Wall Street Journal science editor Sharon Begley describes a study of the activity of the parietal lobe of the brain during meditation--with Tibetan meditators and Franciscan nuns. A radioactive tracer is intravenously injected before the subjects are placed under the scrutiny of a SPECT (single photon emission computer tomography) camera. The result is the same for both groups; the highly active parietal lobe has gone quiet. Does a neurobiological basis for the experience of transcendence make it more real? Is this simply an illusion born of sensory deprivation? If so, one may argue, "Isn't all of life an illusion?"
In essence, "We may explore the universe and find ourselves, or we may explore ourselves and find the universe. It matters not which of these paths we choose." Diana Robertson
