The Body

After reading this book you will know what you don't know. You, actually, will understand how little we understand about human body, one of the most complex manifestations of evolution that we have witnessed. Starting from the tiny albeit significant cell, it divides numerous times, but remains more or less united, to give you a body to house yourself. The various parts of this mysterious structure works untiringly for you well being but curiously we take it all for granted. Maybe, after going through this book, you will appreciate the various mechanisms of the human body that defends you from all sorts of foreign invasions and remains unappreciated for the better part of their lives. This book is not only how the bodies function but it also gives a brief history of the human understanding of the biology of their bodies. Laced with endearing humour throughout, the author once more gives a fascinating insight of the subject that he documents which will help the layman in understanding what happens the next time anything physiologically happens.
