“Clean: The New Science Of Skin And The Beauty Of Doing Less” (2020)
The Things We Do Every Day To Keep Ourselves Clean Can Have Surprising And Unintended Effects, As This Entertaining Introduction To The New Science Of Skin Microbes And Probiotics Reveals Keeping Skin Healthy Is A Booming Industry, And Yet It Seems Like Almost No One Agrees On What Actually Works. What One Person Says Is Vital Another Says Is Toxic. We Have Not Cured Acne Or Eczema, Allergies Keep Getting Worse, And Autoimmune Conditions Are Becoming Increasingly Common. In Clean, Doctor And Journalist James Hamblin Explores How We Got Here, Examining The Science And Culture Of How We Care For Our Skin Today. He Talks To Dermatologists, Microbiologists, Allergists, Immunologists, Aestheticians, Bar-soap Enthusiasts, Venture Capitalists, Amish People, Theologians, And Straight-up Scam Artists, Trying To Figure Out What It Really Means To Be Clean. He Even Experiments With Giving Up Showers Entirely, And Discovers That He Is Not Alone. Along The Way He Realizes That Most Of Our Standards Of Cleanliness Are Less Related To Health Than Most People Think. In Fact, Our Overuse Of Soap, Sanitizers, And Untested, Misleading Skin-care Products May Be To Blame For Many Problems. But A Little-known Area Of Science Is Shining Light On Our Skin Microbiome--the Trillions Of Microbes That Live On Our Skin And In Our Pores. These Microbes Influence Everything From Acne, Eczema, And Dry Skin To How We Smell. The New Goal Of Skin Care Will Be To Cultivate A Healthy Biome--and To Embrace The Meaning Of Clean In The Natural Sense. This Can Mean Doing Much Less, Saving Time, Money, Energy, Water, And Plastic Bottles In The Process. Lucid, Accessible, And Deeply Researched, Clean Explores The Ongoing, Radical Change In The Way We Think About Our Skin, Introducing Readers To The Emerging Science That Will Be At The Forefront Of Health And Wellness Conversations In Coming Years.
“If Our Bodies Could Talk: Operating and Maintaining a Human Body” (2017)
"If you want to understand the strange workings of the human body, and the future of medicine, you must read this illuminating, engaging book." —Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Gene In 2014, James Hamblin launched a series of videos for The Atlantic called "If Our Bodies Could Talk." With it, the doctor-turned-journalist established himself as a seriously entertaining authority in the field of health. Now, in illuminating and genuinely funny prose, Hamblin explores the human stories behind health questions that never seem to go away—and which tend to be mischaracterized and oversimplified by marketing and news media. He covers topics such as sleep, aging, diet, and much more: • Can I “boost” my immune system? • Does caffeine make me live longer? • Do we still not know if cell phones cause cancer? • How much sleep do I actually need? • Is there any harm in taking a multivitamin? • Is life long enough? In considering these questions, Hamblin draws from his own medical training as well from hundreds of interviews with distinguished scientists and medical practitioners. He translates the (traditionally boring) textbook of human anatomy and physiology into accessible, engaging, socially contextualized, up-to-the-moment answers. They offer clarity, examine the limits of our certainty, and ultimately help readers worry less about things that don’t really matter.If Our Bodies Could Talk is a comprehensive, illustrated guide that entertains and educates in equal doses.From the Hardcover edition.
