Bill Bryson, author of The Body: A Guide for Occupants

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.
