About the Books. The Body: A Guide for Occupants takes readers on a head-to-toe tour of human anatomy and physiology, explaining with characteristic humour and clarity just how remarkable — and fragile — our bodies really are, from the biochemistry of a single cell to the mysteries of sleep, disease, and ageing. A Short History of Nearly Everything is Bryson's landmark attempt to make sense of science itself, tracing the story of the universe from the Big Bang through the evolution of life to the present day, translating complex ideas in physics, chemistry, geology and biology into vivid, accessible storytelling that has introduced millions of readers to the wonders of science. Troublesome Words rounds out the set as a compact, practical reference to the pitfalls of English usage — commonly confused words, grammar traps, and stylistic pet peeves — distilled from decades of Bryson's own work as a journalist and editor.
