Synopsis:

This book describes how cells work. It challenges the current wisdom of cell function, and presents a new, simpler approach to fundamental processes such as movement, transport, division, and communication, based on sound physical principles. The book is profusely illustrated with many color figures. It is written for the non-expert in an accessible, often humorous style.

About the Author: Scientist, speaker, and author, Gerald H. Pollack (Jerry) is recognized worldwide for identifying water's fourth phase -- H3O2. He is known for his open-minded approach -- with ideas and with people.

His work with water earned him the inaugural Emoto Peace Prize, as well as the Prigogine Medal for Thermodynamics, and the NIH Director's Transformative R01 Award.

Pollack is the founding Editor-in-chief of the research journal WATER, founding Executive Director of the Institute for Venture Science, and organizer of the annual International Conference on the Physics, Chemistry, and Biology of Water. Further, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Ural State University in Ekaterinburg, Russia, and was more recently named Honorary Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Foreign Member of the Srpska Academy.
