Description
Tending Adam's Garden describes and explains the way in which our immune system works from a novel perspective. The book
uses metaphors and examples to bring the immune system to life and explores the fundamental miracle of nature. Written in plain language
for a broad audience, this book encompasses much more than just immunology, exploring more fundamental matters such as causality, information,
energy, evolution, cognition and individuality, as well as the strategy of the immune system and its role in health and disease.
Audience
Professional Immunologists, students of immunology, scientists in other disciplines within the life sciences at all levels, physicists,
cognitive scientists, neurobiologists, philosphers of science and mathematicians, interested readers curious about life,
health and disease.
