| Book Description | How much sleep do I actually need? Can I "boost" my immune system? How dangerous are tight pants? Does the G-spot exist? Why do stomachs rumble? and what, exactly, is an itch? In this entertaining and illuminating guide to the human body, James Hamblin explores those health questions you've always wondered about over the years--and a few you might never have thought to ask. Hamblin draws from cutting-edge research as well as hundreds of interviews with distinguished scientists and medical practitioners, cutting through the myths to present a clear and comprehensive view of how the body works. Written with care, humor and compassion, If Our Bodies Could Talk offers a greater understanding of our physical selves as an essential step toward worrying less and living better. |
| Editorial Review | “This book answers all the questions you ever had about your health—plus a whole lot of questions that never occurred to you but should have. Even if you don’t care about your health you should read it, because Hamblin is such a delightfully amusing writer.”—Walter Isaacson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Innovators and Steve Jobs. "Reading James Hamblin’s book is like taking a journey through the vast and uncharted landscape of 'health science.' Fad Diets. The science of vaccines. The truth (and lies) behind coffee. The rumblings of the stomach. If you want to understand the strange workings of the human body, and the future of medicine, you must read this illuminating, engaging book."—Siddhartha Mukherjee, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Gene and The Emperor of All Maladies |
