Synopsis An award winning book that topples the widely accepted edifice of understanding on how muscles contract, replacing it with a simpler construct that better fits the evidence.   Praise “Muscles and Molecules, written by Gerry Pollack, is a beautifully produced, single-authored text by one of our more thoughtful, if unconventional, authorities on the mechanism of muscular contraction… Clearly and elegantly written, and with a charm and grace not often seen in modern scientific writing, the book is beautifully produced, well-indexed and exquisitely illustrated. Both the author and publishers are to be congratulated on publishing a book of this quality for such a reasonable price.” Arnold M. Katz, M. D.,
