Ask HN: Which books do you consider real gems in your field of work/study?
Principles of Neural Science by Kandel et al<p>Molecular Biology of The Cell by Alberts et al<p>Janeway’s Immunobiology<p>Robbin’s Pathologic Basis of Disease<p>All of these books are extraordinary in their sheer ability to organize thousands of small details into thematic narratives of how life operates.<p>They also reveal how hard  we humans try to narrate life into tidy, comprehensible themes.<p>These books are all of an era (2005-2015), and there are probably newer ones. That said, they are a great guide for non biologists into how experts think things work.
