Following on the heels of his immensely popular book, Your Brain: The Missing Manual, Matthew MacDonald conducts an entertaining, informative, and highly practical tour of the human body in this visually rich, full-colour guide, Your Body: The Missing Manual. Perfect for anyone interested in the human machine, this book features neither dumbed-down self-help nor dense medical text. Instead, MacDonald provides you with clear explanations of how our bodies work, and focuses on practical, realistic steps you can take to fine-tune your own vessel. You'll get a look at the fascinating quirks, curiosities, and shortcomings we've all learned to live with (shivering and dizziness, to name just two), and just enough biology to improve and exploit the oddities of your body. Learn all about hair loss (and unwanted hair), breathing techniques to improve voice projection, advice on fasting and digestive cleansing strategies, and much more. With the same engaging writing that has turned so many Missing Manuals into bestsellers, Your Body: The Missing Manual offers you a fascinating view of the human body that may well change your life.
