The Lives of a Cell: Notes of a Biology Watcher
''The Lives of a Cell: Notes of a Biology Watcher'' (1974) is collection of 29 essays written by Lewis Thomas for the ''New England Journal of Medicine'' between 1971 and 1973. Throughout his essays, Thomas touches on subjects as various as biology, anthropology, medicine, music (showing a particular affinity for Bach), etymology, mass communication, and computers. The pieces resonate with the underlying theme of the interconnected nature of Earth and all living things.
