Although vital to our well-being and even to our success as a
species, the physical sense of balance has never attained the same
recognition as sight, hearing, touch, smell, or taste. Now, with an
epidemic of debilitating falls sweeping America's aging population,
the time is ripe for a lively and illuminating tour of the human
body's most exquisitely intricate and least understood faculty.
BALANCE is the first book written for a general audience that
examines the mysteries of the human balance system--the
astonishingly complicated mechanisms that allow our bodies to
counteract the force of gravity as we move through space. A
scientific, historical, and practical exploration of how balance
works, BALANCE also provides the keys to remaining upright for as
long as humanly possible. From simple motion sickness to
astronauts'"space stupids," and from fetal somersaults to the
Flying Wallendas, McCredie guides readers on a delightful quest to
elevate balance to its rightful place in the pantheon of the
senses.
