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.
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
评分废话很多的科普,弃
评分真的超级建议大家都读一读!medical science是个forever approaching but never arrive的领域。作家神预测-最恐怖的疾病不是癌症而是流感,人类幸运逃脱了Ebola是因为它爆发在交通没那么发达的国家,下一次可能就没那么幸运了。每个故事中还都穿插着科学家的逸闻趣事和实用的生活习惯小建议。
评分不知道为什么Bryson决定在这个题目上写书。不同于旅游、历史、莎士比亚甚至”everything”,人们不大想从非专业人士那里学习人体知识。虽然没发现大错,科技史部分也算可读,但整体读不下去。因为我不想让英语老师教我生物。
评分内容涵盖量很广泛,有点大杂烩的味道。人的身体结构每一部分用一个章节来阐述。给平民老百姓的百科全书,没有太深奥的词汇。但是朗读者实在是太平淡了。很多次几乎就要因为朗读者而放弃。所以建议自己看书。
