Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. First Edition. The Atoms Within Us by Ernest Borek is a popular-science exploration of life at the molecular level. Borek opens the biochemist's laboratory to general readers, explaining how molecules and atoms produce the phenomena of living cells. The book traces historical shifts from vitalism to modern biochemical explanation, describes key discoveries (vitamin B12, insulin, isotopes), and explains laboratory techniques and their medical applications. It discusses how biochemical knowledge produced vitamins, hormones, and "wonder drugs," and examines contemporary topics of its time such as the effects of radiation on genetic material, the possible links between viruses and cancer, and the principle of competitive inhibition in cancer therapy. Interwoven are physiological vignettes (for example, the chemistry of blood and the heart's role in transporting nutrients and gases) that connect molecular mechanisms to whole-body function. The tone is explanatory and illustrative, aimed at making complex molecular biology intelligible and relevant to non-specialists. Hard cover edition with unclipped dustjacket. 272 pages. Dimensions: 5.5" by 8.5". Published by Columbia University Press, New York. 1st printing, 1961. B&W illustrations. Black binding. Dustjacket defect(s): Some chipping. Some tears.
