Great description of the scientist, his work and his world

The author follows the work of Anna, an immunologist. For those who like science, this will be a great opportunity for a view from whithin. Aside from the thrill of following scientific research in its evolution, the reader is exposed to the life of Anna, and gets to know something of her rich emotional life, and her great imagination, love for life and her dedication to her work. The strive to discover and break through new frontiers goes both externally, in seek of the mechanisms of the body, and internally, in search for the motivation to carry on despite the hardships. Im short, I loved it. Daniel
