The Robots Inside You

Some man-made machines are pretty amazing. But there are machines in nature that are even more amazing, with technology far beyond anything humans have ever built. Where? Inside each of us. One is the blood clotting cascade, a high-tech emergency response system that keeps you from bleeding to death. Without it, even a scraped knee would be fatal. There are miniature robots that repair damaged cells. There's a microbe with a built-in compass and its own magnetic-crystal-making factory. And there's the little engine that author and pioneering biochemist Michael Behe made famous, the bacterial flagellum motor. In The Robots Inside You, Behe takes you on a journey to explore these wonders and shows how they point to a master engineer—to intelligent design.
