具体描述
BILL BRYSON's bestselling books include A Walk in the Woods, The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, and A Short History of Nearly Everything (which won the Aventis Prize in Britain and the Descartes Prize, the European Union's highest literary award). He was chancellor of Durham University, England's third oldest university, from 2005 to 2011, and is an honorary fellow of Britain's Royal Society.
Bill Bryson, bestselling author of A Short History of Nearly Everything, takes us on a head-to-toe tour of the marvel that is the human body. As addictive as it is comprehensive, this is Bryson at his very best, a must-read owner's manual for everybody.
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 (unfortunately) the ways it can 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 Bill 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.

评分 评分##不知道为什么Bryson决定在这个题目上写书。不同于旅游、历史、莎士比亚甚至”everything”，人们不大想从非专业人士那里学习人体知识。虽然没发现大错，科技史部分也算可读，但整体读不下去。因为我不想让英语老师教我生物。
评分翻完了《人体简史》。个人认为，除了让人难以评论的译名和封皮，还是一本值得一读的书。本来抱着“什么身体30亿岁了，肯定没什么好看”的想法，翻开之后，却被纸质和行文吸引，一页一页停不下来。 本书原名是The Body: A Guide for Occupants，和简史没什么关系。不过嘛，既然...
评分##身体究竟只是我们的载体还是全部？对多数人来说，这是个无暇顾及的问题，甚至我们对身体本身的关注也少得可怜，直到它的某个部位出了毛病，不得不去医院走一遭，才恍然发觉这架机器有着极为复杂的构造。而试着去了解它似乎已总是太晚，“遵医嘱”是最明智的选择。这时医生会被...
评分 评分##真的超级建议大家都读一读！medical science是个forever approaching but never arrive的领域。作家神预测-最恐怖的疾病不是癌症而是流感，人类幸运逃脱了Ebola是因为它爆发在交通没那么发达的国家，下一次可能就没那么幸运了。每个故事中还都穿插着科学家的逸闻趣事和实用的生活习惯小建议。
评分这本书看完了，原本以为会学术性很强，可是并没有。是一部相对比较通俗易懂的书。初看这本书时，真就一种望而生畏的感觉，让人不敢轻易翻开。可是打开来看的时候，却又发现读起来是十分愉快的。全然不像讲课那样的严肃，要求你需要认真听讲。作为一个非医学生而言，这书你看过...
评分##总体来说不错，一如既往的风格。但也没有太多的新知识点。 译者自己跑上来清除初版里存在的几个小错误。 昨天朋友发给我《人体简史》纸质版里的几段话。第一处来自实体书版P038页末尾处： 他著名的同事马克斯·冯·佩滕科弗（Max von Pettenkofer）心存怀疑，强烈反对，甚至喝下一大口杆菌病毒…… 朋友说，“杆菌不是病毒呀。” 我一看...
