Tending Adam's Garden: Evolving the Cognitive Immune Self

by Irun R. Cohen

Tending Adam's Garden describes and explains the way in which our immune system works from a novel perspective. The book uses metaphors and examples to bring the immune system to life and explores the fundamental miracle of nature. Written in plain language for a broad audience, this book encompasses much more than just immunology, exploring more fundamental matters such as causality, information, energy, evolution, cognition and individuality, as well as the strategy of the immune system and its role in health and disease.

An interesting connection between cognition and immunity. I got a lot more out of it on the second read. though I liked the ideas, there is a certain degree of vagueness about what exactly is being said. Thats why I am reading Daniel Dennet's Conciousness explained again to get some more specific insight into the nature of cognitive systems.
