A profound, human history of biology's most vital idea. From the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies comes a sweeping exploration of the cell - the building block of all living things. In The Song of the Cell, Siddhartha Mukherjee traces how centuries of scientific endeavour and discovery, from early microscopes to stem-cell therapy, have transformed medicine and our understanding of what it means to be alive. Woven through this history are stories of patients, scientists, and personal insight. As Mukherjee shows, the cell's music is the song of life itself - complex, adaptive, and full of wonder. Essential reading for fans of popular science and the history of medicine. Longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize 2023 A NEW YORK TIMES, DAILY TELEGRAPH, ECONOMIST, MAIL ON SUNDAY and GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Will leave you in awe' Guardian 'Profound... as big a topic as life itself' The Times
Praise for The Song of the Cell
"This expansive, immersive book posits a new way forward in medicine thanks to the cell: new ways of treating patients, new medicines to create, new ways of healing, and new ways of understanding ourselves." -Jaime Rochelle Herndon, Columbia Magazine
"In an account that's 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
"Erudite, panoramic... Mukherjee is an elegant stylist... [and] an assured and genial guide." -Hamilton Cain, Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"If you are not already in awe of biology, The Song of the Cell might get you there. It is a masterclass." -Suzanne O'Sullivan, The Guardian
"Audacious...mesmerizing...reliably engaging... Mukherjee enthusiastically instructs and... delights-all the while hustling us across a preposterously vast and intricate landscape." -David A Shaywitz, The Wall Street Journal
"Mukherjee is a passionate, expert guide... He weaves together charming histories of scientists, his own, sometimes painful, memories of patients and friends lost to illness, and the complex science of what makes cells tick." -Hannah Kuchler, The Financial Times
"For anyone who wants to understand the building blocks of their own bodies-which everyone surely should-this is an informative and entertaining introduction." -The Economist
"Mukherjee has found an especially roomy subject for his roving intelligence. . . . I was repeatedly dazzled by [Mukherjee's] pointillist scenes, the enthusiasm of his explanations, the immediacy of his metaphors." -Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times
"Mukherjee is such an engaging writer, alert to nanoscopic beauty and the potential deceptions of metaphor. . . . [The Song of the Cell is] written with compassionate warmth and humor, and the personal glimpses into an ordinary scientific life and the dedication that goes with it." -Steven Poole, The Telegraph
"The Song of the Cell blends cutting-edge research, impeccable scholarship, intrepid reporting, and gorgeous prose into an encyclopedic study that reads like a literary page-turner." -Oprah Daily
