BODY: A GUIDE FOR OCCUPANTS (PB)

Bill Bryson sets off to explore the human body, discover how it functions and understand its remarkable ability to heal itself. Full of extraordinary facts and astonishing stories, this is a brilliant, often very funny attempt to understand the miracle of our physical and neurological make-up. A wonderful successor to A Short History of Nearly Everything, it will have you marvelling at the form you occupy, and boggling at the unlikelihood of your existence.
