BRYSON, BILL
THE BODY: A Guide for Occupants is an extraordinary exploration of the human body which will have you marvelling at the form you occupy. If youve ever wondered what really goes on inside your head, heart and beyond, Bill Bryson will help you understand the miracle of our physical and neurological make up. Bill explains what inspired him to take on this exciting and ambitious project: We spend our whole lives in one body and yet most of us have practically no idea how it works and what goes on inside it. The idea of the book is simply to try to understand the extraordinary contraption that is us. What I learned is that we are infinitely more complex and wondrous, and often more mysterious, than I had ever suspected. There really is no story more amazing than the story of us.
