书籍简介

这本书汇集了各种奇异而又令人惊奇的故事，讲述了你从未意识到自己拥有的身体部位，从髋臼到颧大肌。Bodypedia 是一部生动活泼、充满事实的人体百科全书，从 A 到 Z。本书收录了近 100 个故事，涵盖了从鸡皮疙瘩的可怕起源到对摩城经典歌曲《心碎后会怎样》的解答等各种主题。这些来自你内脏的迷人故事，逐个探索身体部位，探索解剖学的奥秘。亚当·陶尔用一把敏锐的手术刀，层层剥开，将你被低估的内心世界展现在眼前。

鳄鱼的眼泪和你的眼泪有什么区别？是什么让艾萨克·牛顿执着地将针扎进眼窝？脑胶是如何阻碍自我提升大师的？为什么世界上具影响力的外科医生之一会偷走一个巨人的遗体？ Taor 深入剖析这些以及其他令人好奇的事物，以方式展现人体解剖学的精妙之处、神秘之处和奇特的历史。一路走来，你会遇到一些天才、特立独行的人，以及一些怪人（有时是以上所有），他们在发现、解剖和命名你的身体部位时，不惜血本。Bodypedia 以 Nathalie Garcia 的精美图画，颂扬你的本能，并揭示为何精彩的故事都隐藏在你的体内。

本书采用布面封面，饰有精美的烫金图案。

An eclectic collection of strange and amazing stories about body parts you never knew you had, from acetabulum to zygomaticus majorBodypedia is a lively, fact-filled romp through your body, from A to Z. Featuring almost 100 stories on topics ranging from the beastly origins of goosebumps to the definitive answer to the Motown classic “What Becomes of the Brokenhearted,” these fascinating tales from your entrails explore the wonders of anatomy, one body part at a time. With a keen scalpel, Adam Taor peels away the layers to bring your underappreciated insides to light.

What distinguishes crocodile tears from yours? What possessed Isaac Newton to stick a needle into his eye socket? How does brain glue thwart self-improvement gurus? Why did one of the world’s most influential surgeons steal a giant? Providing insights into these and other curiosities, Taor illuminates the ingenuity, mystery, and eccentric history of your anatomy like never before. Along the way, you will meet the geniuses, mavericks, and monsters (sometimes all the above) who got their hands bloody discovering, dissecting, and naming your parts. With beautiful drawings by Nathalie Garcia, Bodypedia celebrates what makes you tick, and reveals why the best stories are hidden inside you.
