Bryson, who gives off a Cronkite-like trustworthy vibe, is good at allaying fears and busting myths.���A.J. Jacobs, The New York Times Book Review� 'Mr. Bryson�s latest book is a Baedeker of the human body, a fact-studded survey of our physiques, inside and out. Many authors have produced such guides in recent years, and some of them are very good. But none have done it quite so well as Mr. Bryson, who writes better, is more amusing and has greater mastery of his material than anyone else. . .[He] is a master explainer, with a gift for the pithy simile and all-encompassing metaphor. . .[His] love of language is often on display, and he can�t resist occasional indulgences on the origins of terms medical and anatomical. . .Mr. Bryson�s account is enlivened by his excellent command of the history of medicine. . .Brisk, provocative and entertaining throughout.'��The Wall Street Journal� 'Fascinating.'��NPR 'Like an adventurer trekking the Appalachian Trail from beginning to end (as this bestselling author did for�A Walk in the Woods), Bryson launches himself into the wilderness of the human anatomy armed with his characteristic thoroughness and wit.
