MOST of us are far too busy racing through life to pay much attention to what our bodies are up to. Jennifer Ackerman has paused to take a closer look and charts the journey of your body 鈥� an 鈥渁rk of skin and blood and bones鈥� 鈥� as it ferries you through a typical day. Her fascinating story of the body鈥檚 complex workings and how they are driven by a daily rhythm will inspire even the most workaholic reader to consider tweaking their schedule to account for the best time to exercise, say, or even maximise their alcohol tolerance. An engaging, eloquent and accessible book.
