The Body

$18.00
 

A Guide for Occupants

By Bill Bryson

From the bestselling author of A Short History of Nearly Everything, a head-to-toe tour of the marvel that is the human body: a handbook that's as addictive as it is comprehensive.

Bill Bryson once again proves himself to be an incomparable companion as he guides us through the human body--how it functions, its remarkable ability to heal itself, and the ways it can (unfortunately) fail. Full of extraordinary facts (your body made a million red blood cells since you started reading this) and irresistible Bryson-esque anecdotes, The Body will lead you to a deeper understanding of the miracle that is life in general and you in particular. As Bryson writes, "We pass our existence within this wobble of flesh and yet take it almost entirely for granted." The Body will cure that indifference with generous doses of wondrous, compulsively readable facts and information.
