NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A must-read owner's manual for every body. Take a head-to-toe tour of the marvel that is the human body in this "delightful, anecdote-propelled read" (The Boston Globe) from the author of A Short History of Nearly Everything. With a new Afterword.

"You will marvel at the brilliance and vast weirdness of your design." —The Washington Post

Bill Bryson once again proves himself to be an incomparable companion as he guides us through the human body—how it functions, its remarkable ability to heal itself, and (unfortunately) the ways it can fail. Full of extraordinary facts (your body made a million red blood cells since you started reading this) and irresistible Brysonesque anecdotes, The Body will lead you to a deeper understanding of the miracle that is life in general and you in particular.

As Bill Bryson writes, "We pass our existence within this wobble of flesh and yet take it almost entirely for granted." The Body will cure that indifference with generous doses of wondrous, compulsively readable facts and information. As addictive as it is comprehensive, this is Bryson at his very best.

Eligible for 10 Reader Rewards points (ISBN: 9780385539319):

Is there a relatively easy way to combine ebook libraries from all these different retailers? Like an app that shows all of your books in one place

Lol of course my first reflex action when there is something on Slickdeals is to buy it only to realize I've already purchased it from a previous Slickdeal.
(It was $2 in 2021 btw)

If you're okay with managing ebooks offline, you can try out Calibre software. Requires downloading the ebook files though, and if they have DRM you have to jump through extra hoops. Other than that, there is no way to see all your books from different retailers in one place.
