具體描述
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.
用戶評價
##嗯，匆匆聽完瞭。其實相對認真聽的是從第十三章的肺開始的。有點想存本紙質版稍微認真的讀一下瞭解一下
有幾年沒讀Bryson瞭，再讀還是好喜歡他。他寫的科學書都超有看頭，信息量大還能把你逗樂，即便話題足夠嚴肅。這本有Bryson的一貫優點，非常推薦。哦對，原來自由基和抗氧化完全騙人的啊，40年代的一個研究，後來被證明是錯的，但是保健品行業的威力很大，賣貨第一。
##很多知識都是義務教育期間學過的。最大的感受是mysterious的醫學現象太多，沒能看到更新的研究成果(連G點的存在都存疑啊?那我曾經的努力找尋是不是白費瞭啊)。或許目前狀況也大同小異吧。隻是這位作者對順産、母乳喂養和産期不能用任何藥物有點偏執，讀到那裏讓我有點不快。
##廢話很多的科普，棄
##神奇
##充滿知識和驚喜，像迴到瞭高中生物課，隻是更有趣，不得不贊嘆人類的身體構造和醫學發展，語言簡潔易懂不難懂
##文筆極佳的科普作者，對於毫無生理學基礎的小白十分友好。
##有趣的人體知識、現代醫療的弊端
