THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER _______ 'A directory of
wonders.' – The Guardian 'Jaw-dropping.' – The Times 'Classic,
wry, gleeful Bryson…an entertaining and absolutely fact-rammed
book.' – The Sunday Times 'It is a feat of narrative skill to
bake so many facts into an entertaining and nutritious book.' –
The Daily Telegraph _______ ‘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.’ Bill Bryson
sets off to explore the human body, how it functions and its
remarkable ability to heal itself. Full of extraordinary facts and
astonishing stories The Body: A Guide for Occupants 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, this new book is an instant classic. It will
have you marvelling at the form you occupy, and celebrating the
genius of your existence, time and time again. ‘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.’ Bill Bryson
