成人快手

Bill Bryson looks at the head and the reason for our facial expressions.

This is a fascinating, witty and often surprising journey around the human body.

The Body: A Guide for Occupants confirms Bryson as a true polymath. In it, he answers questions such as how much would it cost to make a human and why our faces have evolved their peculiar shape, as well as exploring the mysteries that continue to elude scientists today.
