Description
Using the Frequently Asked Questions format familiar to all from the internet, the User's Guide to the Male Body looks at the male body as the remarkable high-tech piece of precision engineering that it is - the gadget to beat all gadgets. Combining an amusing, light-hearted tone (the tone which, research shows, men tend to use when discussing health) with a style well-known to all men from their car, computer or iPod manuals, the book takes an integrated approach, seeing male health not as a special subject but as something that is central to how men live today. It treats them as adults, recognising that what may not be good for you may nevertheless be great fun. Rather than instructing the reader how to live a healthy lifestyle, it shows them how to build health into their existing lives. It is, for all men, the book they should have been born with.
