Publisher's Synopsis
I've always been convinced that there is nothing in this universe capable of
accomplishing as many miraculous things as you and your body. Just the basic anatomy and physiological processes of the human body are far more complex and wonderful than most of us realize. Trying to get a handle on the mechanics of even the basic processes going on inside you at this very moment is a big enough challenge, but getting intimate with the subtle yet critical distinctions between health and sickness, and life and death, can quickly become a lifelong, ever-evolving pursuit. Your body's amazing ability to sense and then respond to subtle changes in the world around you; and make tiny, essential modifications in the thousands of mechanisms that keep you being you, is simply awe-inspiring.
For sheer complexity, adaptability, strength, and intelligence, there just isn't any body out there more amazing than yours-despite how it might have looked in the mirror this morning.
