• (Nova series) NOVA takes us on an incredible voyage into the microworld of the human body. Covers four incredible team efforts: the coordination of muscles, bones, heart and circulatory system that makes Mike Powell the world's greatest long jumper; the vigilant immune system of ice climber Rob Taylor as his white blood cells combat a dangerous gangrene infection caused by a near-fatal fall; the digestive dynamo that turns a simple sandwich eaten by five-time Olympic gold medalist Bonnie Blair into raw energy for a blistering sprint down the ice; and the ultimate event--the development of a new human life inside track star Karen Hatchett.
