What is the human body made of? How much would it cost to build a human body? How many atoms does our body contain? These are just some of the questions Bill asked at the very beginning of The Body: A Guide For Occupants. Why questions like these matter? Because, as the author emphasized it himself, we are still trying to fathom the mystery that surrounds the biochemistry of humans. Yes, we have bits and pieces of knowledge, but we're still far away from getting the whole picture. By trying to find out how much substances in our body cost, Bill Bryson accentuates how a trivial collection of some substances can form the most complex thing we'll ever be able to analyze- ourselves.Thus, life as a whole - an immeasurably complex phenomenon, is the object of Bryson's inquiry. He goes on to analyze and eloquently describe the most basic organic processes, as well as more elaborate ones. Bryson also mentions numerous fun facts like: how many times per day do you blink? How many red cells are produced in a second?In short, The Body will be an interesting book to read for those who are already experienced in the field of human biology, as well as for those who are just starting to scratch the surface of this endlessly intriguing field. Perhaps, he sometimes goes too far in trying to appeal to such a heterogeneous public - the book sometimes looks like somebody randomly threw in interesting facts without connecting them. Most of the time, however, Bill Bryson captivates our attention with yet another mystery of the human body, while finding relevant connections with everyday life.We're getting a bit ahead of ourselves, but Bryson's main point is obvious from the very beginning of the book, that mentioning it now wouldn't in the least be uncalled for. Everything in The Body revolves around this point: " You are a wonder of nature"

Bill Bryson returns to his internationally beloved topic, Britain, with his first travel book in fifteen years. In 1995, Bill Bryson went on a trip around Britain to celebrate the green and kindly island that had become his home. The hilarious book he wrote about that journey, Notes from a Small Island, became one of the most loved books of recent decades. Now, in this hotly anticipated new travel book, his first in fifteen years and sure to be greeted as the funniest book of the decade, Bryson sets out on a brand-new journey, on a route he dubs the Bryson Line, from Bognor Regis on the south coast to Cape Wrath on the northernmost tip of Scotland. Once again, he will guide us through all that's best and worst about Britain today--while doing that incredibly rare thing of making us laugh out loud in public.

From one of the world's most beloved writers and New York Times bestselling author of One Summer, a vivid, nostalgic, and utterly hilarious memoir of growing up in the 1950s Bill Bryson was born in the middle of the American century—1951—in the middle of the United States—Des Moines, Iowa—in the middle of the largest generation in American history—the baby boomers. As one of the best and funniest writers alive, he is perfectly positioned to mine his memories of a totally all-American childhood for 24-carat memoir gold. Like millions of his generational peers, Bill Bryson grew up with a rich fantasy life as a superhero. In his case, he ran around his house and neighborhood with an old football jersey with a thunderbolt on it and a towel about his neck that served as his cape, leaping tall buildings in a single bound and vanquishing awful evildoers (and morons)—in his head—as "The Thunderbolt Kid." Using this persona as a springboard, Bill Bryson re-creates the life of his family and his native city in the 1950s in all its transcendent normality—a life at once completely familiar to us all and as far away and unreachable as another galaxy. It was, he reminds us, a happy time, when automobiles and televisions and appliances (not to mention nuclear weapons) grew larger and more numerous with each passing year, and DDT, cigarettes, and the fallout from atmospheric testing were considered harmless or even good for you. He brings us into the life of his loving but eccentric family, including affectionate portraits of his father, a gifted sportswriter for the local paper and dedicated practitioner of isometric exercises, and OF his mother, whose job as the home furnishing editor for the same paper left her little time for practicing the domestic arts at home. The many readers of Bill Bryson’s earlier classic, A Walk in the Woods, will greet the reappearance in these pages of the immortal Stephen Katz, seen hijacking literally boxcar loads of beer. He is joined in the Bryson gallery of immortal characters by the demonically clever Willoughby brothers, who apply their scientific skills and can-do attitude to gleefully destructive ends. Warm and laugh-out-loud funny, and full of his inimitable, pitch-perfect observations, The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid is as wondrous a book as Bill Bryson has ever written. It will enchant anyone who has ever been young.
