Facts About the Human Body Explained

You have wondered why you are a little taller at breakfast than at bedtime, or how your stomach keeps from eating itself. Every answer you found was either written for kids or buried in jargon.

This audiobook treats the human body as the grown-up marvel it is. Each short, self-contained chapter explores one part of you, from the discs in your spine to the thousands of miles of blood vessels threading through you. Every big number comes with a comparison you can picture while you walk or drive. Each chapter closes with a spoken recap, so the ideas stay with you, and an honest note on what scientists know and what they are still working out.

You will finish each listen with a fact worth sharing at dinner and a new respect for the body you live in. Press play on your next commute and start with the question of why you shrink by evening.
