Your Amazing Body

AUTHOR Glicksman, Howard; Laufmann, Steve
PUBLISHER Discovery Institute (08/18/2025)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description

Every day your body must solve hundreds of hard engineering problems simultaneously, or else you'll die. Your body enables you to see and hear. It heals you from injuries and diseases. It maintains your temperature. It makes it possible for you to wield a sledgehammer during the day and play piano sonatas at night. Every minute your body choreographs a host of complex systems that are required for you to live.

Join engineer Steve Laufmann and physician Howard Glicksman as they take you on an incredible journey exploring some of your body's greatest marvels, including how your hearing and vision work, how you coordinate your movements, and-perhaps the greatest miracle of them all-how you developed from a single cell at conception. Along the way, you will discover compelling evidence that our bodies are the handiwork of a master designer and engineer.
