Praise for The Remarkable Life of the Skin : A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week Shortlisted for the 2019 Royal Society Insight Investment Science Book Prize "Lyman's goal is . . . to teach readers to appreciate an organ that is often 'invisible in plain sight' . . . Lyman attempts a comprehensive look at skin [with] sections on touch, pain, the history of tattoos, the science of melanin, how different religions view nudity, and how our skin's exposure to the sun affects our broader health . . . In a chapter called 'Skin Safari,' Lyman gives a tour of the denizens of our skin . . . Bear in mind that the skin microbiome has always been with us, and includes at least as many microorganisms as you have cells in your entire body--maybe three times as many. It is you, in a very real way, and it serves purposes we're only beginning to understand." -- New Yorker "Peels back the layers of our largest and most versatile organ to reveal its physical, social, and psychological features . . . Lyman conveys both the science of the skin as well as its many wonders and paradoxes while imparting much practical advice on its care . . . This brilliant synthesis will be an engrossing read for anyone interested in human health and biology." -- Library Journal (starred review) "Our skin is much more than organic bubble wrap that keeps our 'insides' safely where they belong . . . Common dermatological diseases are deftly discussed [and] tantalizing tidbits of information abound . . . The many wonders of skin are superbly detailed in Lyman's thoughtful, informative treatise." -- Booklist (starred review) "More than just a collection of interesting case studies and fun facts--though it is that, too--this book spans a range of fields in basic science and social science in its depiction of the skin's many roles . . . Throughout this wide-ranging narrative, the author's writing is clear and not overly technical, and he excels in relating even the most esoteric subjects to a shared human experience . . . Illuminating and thought-provoking, this book elicits a new awareness of and appreciation for the skin." -- Kirkus Reviews "Lyman, a doctor of acute general medicine, presents a panoramic view of human skin in his excellent debut . . . Whether one's interests are in science and medicine, or in sociology and anthropology, there is something for a wide range of readers in Lyman's skillful work." -- Publishers Weekly "This microscopic look at skin is crawling with revelations, from tiny mites to cellulite and skin care . . . An exciting introduction to a little-known universe and to a talented new writer." -- Sunday Times (UK) "A seriously entertaining book . . . Here are things you wish you'd known about the skin years ago . . . Clever, optimistic." -- Times (UK) "Lyman peels back the science on human skin in this absorbing, fact-packed study." -- Nature "Fascinating . . . Takes us beneath the surface of our largest and least-known organ." -- Daily Express "This book's a gem." -- Irish Examiner
