He explores digestion and finds that cooking has allowed us to have more free time in the day so that we’re not sat munching on indigestible raw food for 7 hours a day. He has a good rummage in your nether regions and comes out with an interesting (but probably useless) fact like testicles have taste receptors. Bryson explores the body and it’s functions in a dry and witty manner but with a very relatable (after all each of us has a body) and pragmatic attitude but also with a bucket load of curiosity that captivated me.
I have tried but always been put off by his intelligence however this book is amazingly easy to read and so so interesting, hence why I nominate this for all Biology and A&P lecturers around the world. I have never read a Bill Bryson book before. Reading a chapter as you fancy rather than sequentially, hence I’ve been reading this book piggy backed with other books for months.
This book devotes a chapter to each system of the body, explores some of our activities of daily living, the beginning of life, medicine, cancer and so on, thus allowing the reader to dip in and out of the book. My next review: The Body: A Guide for Occupants by Bill Bryson.Īgain if I’d been given this book to read at school or during my nurse training I may have found anatomy and physiology much easier (and interesting) to understand.
