I picked up this book from the library to review a couple of concepts for a "Biosignals" exams, and I couldn't resist reading several chapters of it (and placing it on my list to finish reading when I have more time).
It provides a very comprehensible explanation (even without any background in biology) of how cells, and in particular neurons, work at the molecular and electric level.
After presenting the mechanisms how communication happens in the nervous systems, it goes on to describe in detail many aspects of the human body (from the vegetative system, muscles and hormones to pain, stress, sexuality, sleep, learning, etc). It closes with a chapter on methods (ie. EEG, PET, etc); this wasn't as detailed as I'd hoped, but it's understandable as it clearly isn't the focus of the book.
I'd recommend this book (if only to check out a few chapter) to anyone with a slight interest in learning more about how the body works. Personally I found it fascinating and (while this isn't discussed anywhere in the book) it raised my expectations on the advances developments in bioengineering will bring.
