When Things Go Wrong: Diseases

Praise

Praise for Bill Bryson’s The Body: 

“Glorious… Astonishing…. From up to down and from miraculous operational efficiencies to malignant mayhem when things go awry…. You will marvel at the brilliance and vast weirdness of your design.” —The Washington Post 

“Fascinating.” —NPR

“A directory of wonders…. Extraordinary…. A tour of the minuscule…. Wry, companionable, avuncular and always lucid…[The Body] could stand as an ultimate prescription for life.” —The Guardian

“Arresting…. Bryson is adept at finding the bizarre and the arcane in his subject matter…. Amazing.” —USA Today
