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##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...
