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.

##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。

##通勤路上听的audiobook,很多很多fun facts,留存在脑海里的并不多。。记得最后几章有提到,现在的医学研究已经到了dimishing returns的地步,就算我们研究出怎么治疗阿斯伯格症,也只能把人均寿命提高x天了(x好像<30),毕竟人老了可能这病那病都有了。。还有一个是说癌症就是evolution的flip side,如果我们不想莫名其妙的变异,那我们也不可能evolve到现在的模样。。另外历史上有些医生胆大到让人害怕,比如那个决定把导管从肩膀一路插进自己心脏然后去楼下拍x光片的,听得我连方向盘都握不太住了。。

##嗯,匆匆听完了。其实相对认真听的是从第十三章的肺开始的。有点想存本纸质版稍微认真的读一下了解一下
