The Fact or Fiction Behind Human Bodies Summary

The Fact or Fiction Behind Human Bodies by Paul Mason

Truth or Busted Human Bodies takes popular notions and ideas about our bodies and examines where the idea came from, how or why it has become well known, and finally whether it really is true or false. This title looks at statements like: 'Sitting too close to the TV will damage your eyes' or 'A human bone is 4 times stronger than concrete'. Each statement is evaluated and then awarded a Truth or Busted stamp at the end of each entry.
