The Body by Bill Bryson is a comprehensive tour of the human body written by a man who
has written some excellent travel books. The book is fascinating and definitely
designed for the non-expert. My one quibble would be that Bryson’s writing
style is somewhat choppy and he will abruptly jump topics between
paragraphs. I’d say the interesting
facts presented outweigh their somewhat awkward presentation and I would recommend
this book to any amateur interested in learning more about how we work.
