"Amazing Body Facts and Trivia" by Jack Challoner is a very interesting book about the human body. With facts and information, you can learn stuff you never knew before...I know I did! Many useful things are in here such as: how to easily calculate if you are overweight, underweight, or just right, and how to easily calculate how many calories you actually need a day. These are simply calculated by just using your current weight, height, etc. Very easy, very informative, and a very good read.
