Featured nonfiction
For more than two years, The New York Times
science and health columnist Anahad O'Connor tracked down the facts,
fictions, and occasional fuzziness of old wives' tales,
conventional-wisdom cures, and other medical mysteries. In this lively
and fun book, he opens up his case files to disclose the experts'
answers on everything, from which of your bad habits you can indulge
(yo-yo dieting does not mess up your metabolism and sitting too close to
the television does not hurt your eyes) to what foods actually pack the
punch advertised (you can lay off the beet juice). A compendium of
answers to the curious and nagging questions of how to keep healthy,
Never Shower in a Thunderstorm provides guidance and amusement to
anyone who has ever wondered if the mosquitoes really are attacking her
more than everyone else. (Yes, they are.) |
