Human Errors

Human Errors: A Panorama of Our Glitches, from Pointless Bones to Broken Genes by Nathan H. Lents          Audio Book: 8 hours      Hardback Book: 256 pages        

Such a good book.   You will learn so many things you never knew before about the make-up of the human body.   Fascinating!  And Biology Professor, Nathan Lents tells all these fascinating facts in such a fun down to earth way that will have you pondering everthing about yourself from your skin to your DNA and beyond.  I love learning new things and this book is a cavalcade of new knowledge,  He discusses bones, organs, the nucleus of our cells, he goes into diseases the ones our bodies can fight pretty easily and the ones that wreak havoc on us and why.    Talk about amusing conversation – you will stun your friends and family with the facts you will pick up here.   You will come away knowing the why and the how (you already know the who, what and when) of yourself.    He discusses so many medical and evolutionary, “huhs?”  things you may have thought about but never understood.    You will come away from this read feeling like you ought to be wearing a lab coat and that you have just finished your first year of pre-med.  Man!   This guy is good.    I’m going to search for his other book and keep him on my authors I must read everything they write list.    He has the humor and presentation of Mary Roach but less graphic, although, he does tell you lots of amazing things.  I highly recommend this read!
