Beschreibung

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 Brysonesque 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. As addictive as it is comprehensive, this is Bryson at his very best, a must-read owner’s manual for every body.

Bill Bryson's The Body is just perfect!

I have read one of his books two years ago and fell in love with his writing style. And this book just proved my point of view! It's a funny but also serious guide through the body, from cells through organs to the death. It contains images, which I really liked, and is just a very well written book. I love Brysons writing, that's for sure. It's a recommendation for everyone who wants to dig into science but not too much. I study biology and I can say that this book is not too much. It's just a really nice balance of facts, fun and historical stories behind the facts or persons who build the base of the knowledge.

Bill Bryson's The Body is just perfect!

microbes are amazing also somewhat sad how humans and our education growing up are so detached from the ecosystem that many think microbes are disgusting, while humanity couldn’t exist without them the body itself wouldn’t function nor live, let alone the necessary resources 🪴
