'An essential primer on humanity’s ongoing quest to understand the secrets of life . . . Excellent . . . Ball is a terrific writer.' – Adam Rutherford, The Guardian'Ball is a ferociously gifted science writer . . . There is so much [here] that is amazing . . . urgent . . . astonishing.' – The Sunday TimesA cutting-edge new vision of biology that proposes to revise our concept of what life is – from Science Book Prize winner Philip Ball.

Biology is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. Several aspects of the standard picture of how life works have been exposed as incomplete, misleading, or wrong.

In How Life Works, Philip Ball explores the new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more ingenious affair than we had guessed. With this knowledge come new possibilities. Today we can redesign and reconfigure living systems, tissues, and organisms. We can reprogram cells, for instance, to carry out new tasks and grow into structures not seen in the natural world. Some researchers believe that ultimately we will be able to regenerate limbs and organs, and perhaps even create new life forms that evolution has never imagined.

Incorporating the latest research and insights, How Life Works is a sweeping journey into this new frontier of the nature of life, a realm that will reshape our understanding of life as we know it.

Great solution for nighttime coughing.
Size: 40 Count (Pack of 3)
My dental hygienist recommended this when I told her I used a cough drop during the night bc I coughed. Obviously cough drops are not good for your teeth, and I found these serve the same purpose! They stick to the roof of your mouth & provide moisture all night long. So glad I found out about them. Pleasant taste - lasts all night.

Lasted about an hour
Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
Today I used my first mint flavored melt, it lasted for exactly an hour. I didn’t have super high expectations for this to last 8 hours, but want to see if it would improve my overall enamel and prevent cavities. I was hoping it could help my night time dryness from a chronic stuffy nose and sleeping with my mouth open. I placed it upper molar area, but I think it’s good even still.

No more dry mouth in the mornings
Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
Finally waking up without dry mouth. I do have to use 1 on each side, and they’re hard to stick on, but honestly worth it. I’ve been getting cavities from dry mouth due to medications, and I’m so glad I’ll be able to prevent them from getting worse.

Amazing product!
Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
This is something that actually works! I am amazed at these dry mouth melts! They work great and I am very happy after trying multiple products that never seemed to work. The only complaint I would have is that they dont last all night for me, so I just use 2. but I am very satisfied with them and how good they work.
