This book is very insightful and it is full of diagrams which is what I used to study. From molecules to systems this author makes the read very relevant and easy to understand.

This is one of the best written and easily understood technical books I have ever read over my wide field of Electronics and Engineering. I only have a High School Level understanding of Science and biology. If you are willing to take your own notes and make an intellectual effort you can learn what is going on in your body.
