El cuerpo humano

We spend a lifetime with one body and we hardly know how it works. From genes to our ability to speak, through our constant adaptations to the environment and the risks we run, this book reveals that our microcosm is a true miracle, full of wonders and amazing secrets. Explaining the human body in all its integrity, and doing it for all audiences, is only within the reach of an author like Bill Bryson. With his usual narrative talent, ability to synthesize broad insights, and culture to reveal surprising facts, Bryson proves he is the best and funniest guide to embarking on an exciting journey into ourselves.
