Take a head-to-toe tour of the marvel that is the human body in this “delightful, anecdote-propelled read” ( The Boston Globe) from the author of A Short History of Nearly Everything. A must-read owner’s manual for every body. Suspense, believable characters and an imaginative twist on a ghost story/romance make for a lovely read. Julia wrestles with a childhood trauma, her growing attraction to Eron and the apparent continued presence of Griffin. The author presents Eron especially as an attractive character, using archaic language to root him firmly in 1910 but allowing readers to watch him cope with modern life and grow more confident. Griffin becomes Eron’s apprentice sandman, but it quickly becomes clear that Griffin has no intention of following the rules or of allowing Eron to romance his girl. Eron has a rival, though: Griffin, Julia’s actual, recently deceased, possessive boyfriend. In this case, Eron, who died in 1910, looks forward to meeting in real life Julia, the girl he’s watched over all her life and has grown to love. The sandmen (and women) here are human souls who have died but can return to life after a century of ghostly service. In this sweet supernatural romance, Balog resurrects a childhood fantasy: the sandman, who puts us to sleep at night.

Temporal artery biopsy has long been the gold standard for establishing the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis. Giant cell arteritis is a chronic vasculitis affecting large and medium-sized arteries, most commonly the temporal and other cranial arteries.

The man who wins will gain the right to represent the United States in the 84 Olympiad the losers will then have to struggle further to gain a place in the two- or four-man boats. What drives these men to endure a physical pain known to no other sport? Who are they? Where do they come from? How do they regard themselves and their competitors?
