Doctors Roizen and Oz have updated their very successful book on the care and understanding of the human body. It is a breezy explanation of how the body functions, what can go wrong with it and how to keep it from falling apart. Topics covered include the best way to prevent heart attacks, ease arthritis, improve one's sex life and cope with cancer. They end with some recipe suggestions, daily exercises and frequently asked questions. The book is interspersed with quizzes and factoids. While this is a good way to start learning about the body, it should not replace regular medical checkups. The authors' experience with television seems to have encouraged them to give sound bytes, rather than in-depth information. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) - HARPERCOLL
