In this remarkable book Jonathan Miller considers the functioning of the body as a subject of private experience. He explores our attitudes towards the body, our astonishing ignorance about certain parts of it and our inability to read its signals. Taking as his starting point the experience of pain, Dr Miller explores the elaborate social process of 'falling ill', considers the physical foundations of 'dis-ease' and looks at the types of individuals man has historically attributed with the power of healing.
His explanations are so lucid, so wide-ranging and so whole-heartedly entertaining it is often hard to believe one is reading about the facts of one's own body and what can go wrong with it. His use of metaphor and suggestive models, particularly when tracing the historical development of certain leading ideas in human physiology, is highly stimulating. Above all, there is the keen originality and sheer enthusiasm of Dr Miller's approach to his subject which makes The Body in Question such an outstanding book.

Acerca del autor
Jonathan Miller was born in London in 1934. He read Natural Sciences at Cambridge and qualified as a Doctor of Medicine in 1959. In 1961 he co-authored and appeared in Beyond the Fringe with Alan Bennett, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. On his return to England in 1964, after the New York run of Beyond the Fringe, he was invited to edit and present Monitor, the weekly arts programme on BBC television. Since then he has made frequent and various contributions to public broadcasting. He produced and directed the TV film of Alice in Wonderland in 1966, and wrote and presented the thirteen-part documentary series The Body in Question in 1976. Between 1980 and 1982 he was the executive producer of the BBC's Shakespeare series. He conducted fifteen personal interviews with psychologists in a series entitled States of Mind, later published as a book. He has also written and presented a television series on language, and another on the history of mental illness.
He has worked extensively in the classical theatre, directing productions in Nottingham, Stratford, Chichester and at the Old Vic. For two years he was the artistic director of the Old Vic. His opera career started in 1974 and since then he has directed productions at most of the leading opera houses in the world, including the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, the English National Opera, the Maggio Musicale in Florence, La Scala in Milan, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, the Deutsche Staatsopher in Berlin, the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich and the Salzburg Festival. In 1998 he curated an exhibition at the National Gallery in London, entitled 'Mirror Image'.
His books include McLunhan in the Modern Masters series, Darwin for Beginners, States of Mind, Subsequent Performances, On Reflection and a book of his own photographs, Nowhere in Particular.
In 1997 he was elected Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in London and in 1998 he was admitted as a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh. He is also a Foreign Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Derecho al desistimiento
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
