Before buying, you can probably check out the book at your local library's ebook section. I was able to borrow the audio book version for free

"Light in Shaping Life" is another great read; I'd be immensely grateful if all health education was more inclusive in this fundamental participant in what creates health. "Invisible Rainbow" is another great read and more enjoyable, less daunting, very engaging to know what the body knows already through its information (energy is moving information).

One of my favorite authors. I've listen to the audiobook about half a dozen times. Bill Bryson is a great writer and narrator. Better than ASMR!

I love most of Bill Bryson's work but just couldn't get into this one. Probably because I studied biology in college and most everything he writes about is covered in Biology 101. Probably great if you haven't yet delved into the world of bio though.

I have a masters in biology and loved this book. Although, much of the book was covered in my education, I found it a fantastic recap of information.

It appears that it's gone back to $12.99 on every site except Amazon where it's still $2.99.
