Full of extraordinary facts and astonishing stories The Body: A Guide for Occupants is a brilliant, often very funny attempt to understand the miracle of our physical and neurological make up.

'What I learned is that we are infinitely more complex and wondrous, and often more mysterious, than I had ever suspected.

There really is no story more amazing than the story of us.' Bill Bryson
