HTML:<b>"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</b>&#160;<b>Mukherjee,</b>&#160;<b>author of</b>&#160;<i>The Gene</i><br /> <br /> In 2014, James Hamblin launched a series of videos for <i>The Atlantic</i> called "If Our Bodies Could Talk."&#160; With it, the doctor-turned-journalist established himself as a seriously entertaining authority in the field of health. Now, in illuminating and genuinely funny prose, Hamblin explores the human stories behind health questions&#160;that never seem to go away—and which tend to be mischaracterized and oversimplified by marketing and news media. &#160;He covers topics such as sleep, aging, diet, and much more:<br /> &#160;<br /> • Can I “boost” my immune system?<br /> • Does caffeine make me live longer?<br /> • Do we still not know if cell phones cause cancer?<br /> • How much sleep do I actually need?<br /> • Is there any harm in taking a multivitamin?<br /> • Is life long enough?<br /> &#160;<br /> In considering these questions, Hamblin draws from his own medical training as well from hundreds of interviews with distinguished scientists and medical practitioners.&#160; He translates the (traditionally boring) textbook of human anatomy and physiology into accessible, engaging, socially contextualized, up-to-the-moment answers. They offer clarity, examine the limits of our certainty, and ultimately help readers worry less about things that don’t really matter.<br /> <br /> <i>If Our Bodies Could Talk</i> is a comprehensive, illustrated guide that entertains and educates in equal doses.
