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.

評分 評分##有趣的人體知識、現代醫療的弊端
評分##人類的身體30億歲瞭! 這是一部從頭講到腳、從裏講到外、從30億年前講到今天的人體百科全書! 我本身並不是一個非常愛看科普的人,但這本書的宣傳緊緊抓住瞭我的眼球,人體有太多秘密是我們所不知道的,隻有更好的瞭解自己的身體纔能更好的活著。 在這篇書評我最想與大傢探討的...
評分##給業餘人士讀的醫學fun facts。50年代腦前額葉手術讀起來都讓我PTSD……感恩活在當代。
評分##不知道為什麼Bryson決定在這個題目上寫書。不同於旅遊、曆史、莎士比亞甚至”everything”,人們不大想從非專業人士那裏學習人體知識。雖然沒發現大錯,科技史部分也算可讀,但整體讀不下去。因為我不想讓英語老師教我生物。
