Building Blocks of Human Life: Understanding Mature Cells and Stem Cells by John K Young was published under Recorded books modern scholar series.
It is an in depth set of lectures on human cells by John K. Young, professor of medicine at Howard University.
This book would serve well for someone looking for a review of human molecular biology, or for someone who wants to get a bit familiar with the terms, but the book failed in terms of making cell biology interesting. Young talks like someone who wants to make the material interesting, but fails. It is a common dilemma for professors.
Still the book does cover the cell functions, from composition of our organs, to our brains, nervous system, hormones, reproduction, and lastly, aging. It was a good book to have playing in the background and catch snippets.
