具体描述
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.

##有几次好怕他读断气哈哈哈
##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。
##内容涵盖量很广泛，有点大杂烩的味道。人的身体结构每一部分用一个章节来阐述。给平民老百姓的百科全书，没有太深奥的词汇。但是朗读者实在是太平淡了。很多次几乎就要因为朗读者而放弃。所以建议自己看书。
##有趣的人体知识、现代医疗的弊端
##废话很多的科普，弃

##很多知识都是义务教育期间学过的。最大的感受是mysterious的医学现象太多，没能看到更新的研究成果(连G点的存在都存疑啊?那我曾经的努力找寻是不是白费了啊)。或许目前状况也大同小异吧。只是这位作者对顺产、母乳喂养和产期不能用任何药物有点偏执，读到那里让我有点不快。
##Bill Bryson的书，虽然一反既往的幽默写作风风格，但是满满都是知识点，这些关于自身躯体的知识，绝对值得一读，强烈推荐，因为很多观念早点明白和纠正没准能够救命。
##充满知识和惊喜，像回到了高中生物课，只是更有趣，不得不赞叹人类的身体构造和医学发展，语言简洁易懂不难懂
