lotuscandy (United Kingdom) (2008/04/01):
THIS BOOK IS A REAL TREAT. THE AUTHOR TAKES SOMETHING WE NORMALLY NEVER THINK ABOUT AND MAKES IT INTO A FACINATING TOPIC; WITH COLOURFUL EXAMPLES FROM FIELDS AS DISPARATE AS STYMOLOGY AND ENTOMOLOGY. YOU PROBABLY WILL BE REPEATING MANY OF THE STORIES HE TELLS TO THOSE AROUND YOU, AS YOU DISCOVER WHY A FEVER MAY BE GOOD FOR YOU, OR HOW BABIES GENERATE THEIR OWN HEAT, OR HOW EATING DISORDERS INTERACT WITH BODY TEMPERATURE PROBLEMS. IT'S ENTERTAINING, INTERESTING, AND GREAT FUN. - MICHAEL LEON, UC IRVINE
