Waar gaat het over?
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A must-read owners manual for every body. Take a head-to-toe tour of the marvel that is the human body in this delightful, anecdote-propelled read (The Boston Globe) from the author of A Short History of Nearly Everything. With a new Afterword.
You will marvel at the brilliance and vast weirdness of your design." The Washington Post
Bill Bryson once again proves himself to be an incomparable companion as he guides us through the human bodyhow 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 Brysonesque anecdotes, The Body will lead you to a deeper understanding of the miracle that is life in general and you in particular.

The Body will cure that indifference with generous doses of wondrous, compulsively readable facts and information. As addictive as it is comprehensive, this is Bryson at his very best.
