Críticas
'An insightful text celebrating just how clever is the machine we call the human body.' Kirkus Reviews 'Her fascinating story of the body's complex workings and how they are driven by a daily rhythm will inspire even the most workaholic reader to consider tweaking their schedule to account for the best time to exercise, say, or even maximise their alcohol tolerance. An engaging, eloquent and accessible book.' New Scientist 'A readable and remarkably comprehensive tour of all that is new and intriguing in the study of normal human physiology.' New York Times 'In a chatty, entertaining way, she takes the reader from waking in the morning to drifting to sleep at night.' -- Steven Carroll The Age 'Ackerman's illuminating and hospitable book helps ensure that the inner life of our bodies will receive its fair share of wonderment.' The New York Times Book Review 'This is skilled science writing, well researched and referenced, up to date, dripping with information and compellingly readable. It flows seamlessly, much like the grand cellular symphony that is our body. The orchestra within is a lot less mysterious after this read.' -- Natasha Mitchell The Weekend Australian 'It's rare to find a book that delivers so much knowledge in prose that's such an enormous pleasure to read.' Miriam E. Nelson, Tufts University, and author of Strong Women Stay Young -- Miriam E. Nelson, _Strong Women Stay Young_
Reseña del editor
Acclaimed science writer Jennifer Ackerman lends her keen eye and lively voice to this marvellous exploration of the human body. Taking us through a typical day, from the arousal of the senses in the morning to the reverie of sleep and dreams, Ackerman reveals the human form as we've never seen it: busy, cunning, and miraculous. Advances in genetics and medical imaging have allowed us to peer more deeply inside ourselves than ever before, revealing that we are intensely rhythmic creatures. The human body is like a clock - an entire shop of clocks, actually - measuring out the seconds, minutes, days, and seasons of life. Ackerman shows the importance of synchronising our actions with our biological rhythms - and how defying them can cause us real harm. We learn the best time of day to drink a cocktail, take a nap, run a race, give a presentation, and take medication, along with a host of other curious facts, such as why you succumb to a cold and your spouse doesn't, even though you've both been exposed to the same sick child. Did you know that you can tell time in your sleep? Or that up to half of the calories you consume can be burned off by fidgeting? That women have more nightmares than men? That tuna, sardines, and walnuts may ease depression? At once entertaining and deeply practical, this fascinating book will make you think of your body in an entirely new way.
