THE REMARKABLE LIFE OF THE SKIN

Narrator Matthew Spencer voices Monty Lyman's fascination with our largest organ as he asks listeners to take a look at their own skin. As the audiobook turns to skin conditions, the effects of sleeplessness, and how mental stress affects the skin's immune system, many a listener will be doing just that. Lillard covers a wide range of topics, so listeners might find themselves focusing on a particular segment that is relevant to them or one that is simply intriguing--such as the advantages of head lice. The author covers topics such as STDs, so it's not the best choice for family road trips. Still, the facts can start listeners on the path to healthier skin, even if they won't head into dermatology, as Lyman did. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2020]
