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.

Who doesn't love anecdotes about the least interesting group of scientists - medical researcher? Just when you think their life can't be more tedious, Bill Bryson throws you one piece of surprising history.
评分有趣的人体知识、现代医疗的弊端
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。
评分给业余人士读的医学fun facts。50年代脑前额叶手术读起来都让我PTSD……感恩活在当代。
评分不知道为什么Bryson决定在这个题目上写书。不同于旅游、历史、莎士比亚甚至”everything”，人们不大想从非专业人士那里学习人体知识。虽然没发现大错，科技史部分也算可读，但整体读不下去。因为我不想让英语老师教我生物。
