"An Introduction to Yourself or a Touch of Nature's Masterpiece" is a book about something most people know the best and don't know at the same time-their body; yet unknown, it is as as simple, as complicated it apparently seems to be. Have you ever wandered why do you get dizzy when you get up suddenly? Or how do sweets reduce stress? Why do coffee or alcohol taken on an empty stomach have a more intens effect and vice versa? Why do we experience sudden flinches when we sleep? Or maybe more complex questions, like: What happens to our body when it gets a disease, whether it is cancer, diabetes or allergies? Why do we dream? Why do we feel? Such questions, in the absence of an answer, are asked quieter and quieter until they pass into silence and only the curiosity of a child, unaware of any limits, can still hear them. In this book, you will find the human body explained in a simple language, brought to life from the scientific dormancy. It covers everything, beginning from the cell and DNA, to organ systems; from how impulses are transmitted through our body to interactions with substances like coffee, alcohol or nicotine, among many other interesting peculiarities. If they don't satisfy your curiosity, this would be the only "why" question about this book, to which I wouldn't have an answer. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
