Download Balance: In Search of the Lost Sense AudioBook Free
Although vital to your well-being, and even to your success as a species, the physical sense of balance has never attained the same recognition as sight, hearing, touch, smell, or taste. Now, with an epidemic of debilitating falls sweeping America's aging population, enough time is ripe for a lively and illuminating tour of the human body's most exquisitely intricate and least understood faculty. Balance is the first book written for a general audience that examines the mysteries of the human balance system: the astonishingly complicated mechanisms that allow our anatomies to counteract the force of gravity even as move through space. A scientific, historical, and practical exploration of how balance works, Balance also supplies the keys to remaining upright for so long as humanly possible. From simple motion sickness to astronauts' "space stupids", and from fetal somersaults to the Flying Wallendas, McCredie guides readers on a wonderful quest to raise balance to its rightful put in place the pantheon of the senses.
