Story
A Short History of Nearly Everything is Bill Bryson’s quest to find out everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization - how we got from there, being nothing at all, to here, being us. His challenge is to take subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us and see if there isn't some way to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. It's not so much about what we know, as about how we know what we know.

Story
Bill Bryson and his family live in a Victorian parsonage in a part of England where nothing of any great significance has happened since the Romans decamped. Yet one day, he began to consider how very little he knew about the ordinary things of life as he found it in that comfortable home. To remedy this, he formed the idea of journeying about his house from room to room to “write a history of the world without leaving home.”

One of the most admired nonfiction writers of our time retells the story of one truly fabulous year in the life of his native country - a fascinating and gripping narrative featuring such outsized American heroes as Charles Lindbergh, Babe Ruth, and yes Herbert Hoover, and a gallery of criminals (Al Capone), eccentrics (Shipwreck Kelly), and close-mouthed politicians (Calvin Coolidge). It was the year Americans attempted and accomplished outsized things and came of age in a big, brawling manner. What a country. What a summer. And what a writer to bring it all so vividly alive.

There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices.

The Appalachian Trail covers 14 states, and over 2,000 miles. It stretches along the East Coast of the United States, from Maine in the north to Georgia in the south. It is famous for being the longest continuous footpath in the world. (Compare this with the Pennine Way, which is a mere 250 miles long.) It snakes through some of the wildest and most spectacular landscapes in America, as well as through some of its most poverty-stricken and primitive backwoods areas.

Richard Dawkins' brilliant reformulation of the theory of natural selection has the rare distinction of having provoked as much excitement and interest outside the scientific community as within it. His theories have helped change the whole nature of the study of social biology, and have forced thousands to rethink their beliefs about life.

Publisher's Summary
An instant New York Times best seller
Named a best book of the year by The Washington Post
Longlisted for the Pen E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award
"Glorious...You will marvel at the brilliance and vast weirdness of your design." (The Washington Post)
Bill Bryson, best-selling author of A Short History of Nearly Everything, takes us on a head-to-toe tour of the marvel that is the human body. As addictive as it is comprehensive, this is Bryson at his very best, a must-listen owner's manual for everybody.
Bill Bryson once again proves himself to be an incomparable companion as he guides us through the human body - how it functions, its remarkable ability to heal itself, and (unfortunately) the ways it can fail. Full of extraordinary facts (your body made a million red blood cells since you started reading this) and irresistible Bryson-esque anecdotes, The Body will lead you to a deeper understanding of the miracle that is life in general and you in particular.
As Bill Bryson writes, "We pass our existence within this wobble of flesh and yet take it almost entirely for granted." The Body will cure that indifference with generous doses of wondrous, compulsively listenable facts and information.
What the critics say
"Bill Bryson is not so much a discoverer of new lands as a charismatic cartographer of existing ones, smartly mapping points of entry into territory that might otherwise remain impenetrable to curious travelers. With light footed prose, The Body winds its way through the dense terrain of anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry....The result is an absorbing catalog of the human body in all its firmness and fatality....The colossal roster of facts on display is dazzling.... Bryson's distinctive voice will likely delight readers eager to go sightseeing around the world they embody." (The American Scholar)
"A delightful tour guide...Bryson's stroll through human anatomy, physiology, evolution, and illness (diabetes, cancer, infections) is instructive, accessible, and entertaining." (Booklist starred review)
Amusingly informative." (Forbes)

Required reading for the self-aware
We share as humans the fact that we all have the same basic working parts, and just like with machines and objects these parts wear down, get sick and ultimately fail us. This very long but fascinating work will introduce you in detail to every part making up the human body. The last chapters on disease and how we die are awesome and have led me to think a lot more about the miracle of the human body and how it still hides countless mysteries from us.

Great stories just like Brysons other books
If you like Bryson, you'll like this. The book seems to endlessly cover just about everything related to the human body. It is at times whimsical, other times quite gory and cringe-worthy, but in a good way. The book kept me captivated and I found so many different interesting topics that made me want to check out in more detail later. On top of the stories within the book, I find Brysons voice very soothing.

Great book, excellent narration
I really enjoy Bill Bryson’s writing and I was sceptical to see his name as the narrator, but wow he does an excellent work of it. I’ve listened to this one twice and really enjoyed it. A couple of sections are not fully explored, but overall it is excellent and I highly recommend it. I’m a stickler for detail and when I’ve checked some of his facts he was mostly right on.

Bryson Takes on the Human Body
An excellent study of the history of the human body broken up into thematic sections. He does an excellent job of exploring the limitations of what we know, as well as how much there is still to do in medicine (his section on how the female body has been represented in medicine is excellent). His performance is pure Bryson, and I learned so much. Highly recommended.

A masterpiece of clarity, intrigue and grace.
I read this book physically this past summer, buying it immediately at full price in hard cover because I had read A Short History of Nearly Everything a couple times and loved it. I cannot begin to explain how good this book was. It is among my favorite pop-sci books. The clarity, grace, and intrigue of the writing was captivating from page one, onward. I got this audiobook because i like to learn about the world, even when I'm working. After getting my honours degreen in English, I did 3 years of mostly industrial security which allowed me to read a lot while getting paid. Now I work on a farm seasonally and I know this will keep my mind occupied while I pick berries, apples, plums, prune shrubs and trees, weed the gardens etc. I like a book that is easy to digest, while also enlightening at the same time. I love little tidbit facts and the compelling way in which Bryson keeps you glued to the book. I had a friend who went to prison, who hates books ... for some reason (i suspect he is dislexic and the struggle is too much for his patience). He and I are very different, but friends no less. He read a fair chunk of A Walk In The Woods by Bill Byson in jail. While he no longer admits liking "a book", he raved about how I absolutely had to read that book, and how good it was. To me, that speaks well of Bill Bryson's talent!

Must Read for the Sheer Fun of It
The Body, A Guide for Occupants, written and narrated by Bill Bryson. If you are a Bill Bryson reader, you know his style and quippy manner of writing. Always a joy, no matter what his subject matter. For you, Bryson fans, just stop reading now, buy the book and add a joyful undertaking to your life. You will not be disappointed; this is a full circuit informational source of data about the body, done by analyzing each system of its makeup, organ by organ, function by function, bacterium by a bacterium and done with typical Bryson élan. For those of you who do not know Bill Bryson; its time to learn. His writing comes with energy, style, and enthusiasm, and a smack of ironic and flip intelligence. Yet, he is always easy to understand. No high flaunting words, just good British syntax. (He is an American ex-pat to Britain.) More important is the fact that when he covers a subject, he gets you all you need to know, and I do mean all the information you may need. As to the science of our bodies, he gives you in a manner that lets the layman know what a chief physician needs to know. Two last points. If you are a person committed to exercising, dieting, or just an ordinary hypochondriac this is a sourcebook for truly understanding your ailment. Bill Bryson is a pretty good reader, as well.

This is an outstanding listen if you want information on how the body works. I don't understand how Bill Bryson is able to gather so much information for his books. Like a couple of his prior works, I will listen to this book over and over because I learn something new with each listen. I have listened to his books At Home and A Short History of Nearly Everything numerous times. I would like to thank him for writing them.

Dear Bill Bryson,
Please PLEASE stop reading your own books. Your enunciation is terrible, cringeworthy! I have to keep rewinding to understand what you’re saying. For the love of god, set your ego aside and let a pro do the reading for you. Do it for your readers. Or soon-to-be-ex-readers, if these narrations don’t improve.

Don’t expect to feel good after listening to this book. We’re all doomed ! Makes it sound like being a human is the worst thing you can be. How more bout info on other stuff other than cancer.

Informative, but not really the best Bryson
I love Bill Bryson, but this book just doesn't have the charm or appeal of most of his other works. In my opinion, he's best in the language and travel books, where he can express his dry wit in a more personal way, speaking from experience. There is no question that he is an engaging storyteller and makes his subjects very accessible to the audience. But unlike with books by, say, Richard Feynman, Carl Sagan or Sam Harris, for example, who have presented access into specific subjects of their expertise, I was never quite able to shake the idea that Bryson is merely a conduit of recently (though very thoroughly) researched information about the body. There are some clever moments, and a few intriguing stories, but the book mostly consists of lectures on anatomy, pathology, endocrinology, etc., albeit by an amiable professor.
