Used Very Good(1 Copy): Brown, Jared M. Very Good 5" x 8" 290 Pages Indexed. This book has been opened and read several ltimes but there is little to note for defects beyond a minimum wear to the cover edges. Interior is faultless. The next time you get sick, consider this before you pick up the aspirin: your body may be doing exactly what it's supposed to. In this ground-breaking book, two pioneers of the emerging science of Darwinian medicine argue that illness as well as the factors that predispose us toward it are subject to the same laws of natural selection that otherwise make our bodies such miracles of design. Among the concerns they raise: When may a fever be beneficial? Why do pregnant women get morning sickness precisely when they are supposed to be nourishing their developing babies? How do certain viruses manipulate their hosts into infecting others? What evolutionary factors may be responsible for depression and panic disorder? Deftly summarizing the latest research on disorders ranging from llergies to Alzheimer's, and from cancer to Huntington's chorea, Why We Get Sick answers these questions and more. The result is a book that will revolutionize our attitudes toward illness and will intrigue and instruct lay persons and medical practitioners alike.
