Book ID/图书代码： 08880007B12849
English Summary/英文概要： The acclaimed science writer Jennifer Ackeman lends her keen eye and lively voice to this marvelous exploration of the human body. Ackerman reveals the body as we’ve never seen it: busy, cunning, miraculous.
In the past decade or so, advances in genetics and medical imaging have allowed us to peer deep inside ourselves, and one of the most amazing discoveries is that we are deeply rhythmic creatures. The human body is like a clock--- measuring out the seconds, minutes, days. Ackerman shows the importance of synchronizing our actions with these biological rhythms---and how defying them can cause us real harm. We learn the best time of day to drink a cocktail, have a nap, schedule an athletic event, and take medication, as well as a host of other facts. Much is also known about the multiple clocks in our cells and the master clock in the brain that determines the circadian ebb and flow of hormones and chemicals that control temperature, heart rate, etc. At once entertaining and practical, this fascinating book will make you consider your body in a whole a new light.
