Wunder im Bauch

The time before our birth is at least as exciting as the time after. Where do we come from? How did our cells know what to build? When did our eyes and ears start working? And what did they see or hear then? This book opens our eyes to what happens to us before we see the light of day. Young cell biologist Katharina Vestre connects the latest scientific findings from neuroscience and prenatal medicine with her outstanding storytelling talent. She takes us on a journey of discovery to the origins of our bodies and tells the thrilling story from the first cell to the first breath in a way we have never heard before. She shows us not only what connects us with all living beings on our planet but also how unique each and every one of us is.
