About the author

Founded in 1888, its interests include geography, archaeology, and natural science, the promotion of environmental and historical conservation, and the study of world culture and history. The National Geographic Society's logo is a yellow portrait frame—rectangular in shape—which appears on the margins surrounding the front covers of its magazines and as its television channel logo. Through National Geographic Partners (a joint venture with The Walt Disney Company), the Society operates the magazine, TV channels, a website, worldwide events, and other media operations.

After living with my body for nearly 78 years, I was amazed at how much I didn't know about it. This book did not read like a novel, but rather as a page by page discovery of things that you never realized about the body that you carry around every day. A fascinating, eye-opening introduction into our amazing, complicated systems.
