Book description
In this book, we investigate what makes us tick – our hearts, lungs, muscles, nerves and brain – and talk to the surgeons pioneering new treatments, the body-conscious who have bulked up or stripped down, those who live in fear of the illnesses which could befall them and those for whom the human form is a thing of beauty. We learn how to read body language and delve into the lives of the medicine men who changed the way we view our bodies. And we explore the more esoteric aspects of our bodies: ESP, hairstyles, the insurance value of our limbs, and sex guides through the ages.
