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.
文笔极佳的科普作者,对于毫无生理学基础的小白十分友好。
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。
评分嗯,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
评分作者自己朗读的有声书,挺有意思,非常值得一读。对于我这种没太多医学知识的读者来说,还是能从中学到不少新东西的。书中恰巧还提到,为什么人类这么多年没有再经历过类似Spanish Flu这种大规模的流行病,作者给出的答案是人类太幸运了。现在看来,恐怕这好运气到头了。另:美国医疗保险真的屎一样!
评分充满知识和惊喜,像回到了高中生物课,只是更有趣,不得不赞叹人类的身体构造和医学发展,语言简洁易懂不难懂
