This engaging book masterfully weaves together scientific facts, cultural references, captivating reportage, and poignant personal stories.

The author doesn't simply explain what muscles are; she helps us understand their importance in everyone's life. Cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscles—these three types of muscles make our hearts beat, push food through our intestines, control the continuous flow of blood through our vessels, and enable us to move through space.

Furthermore, Tsui traces how muscles have shaped our perceptions of beauty and ugliness throughout history and summarizes the importance of muscles for our physical and mental health.

The Power of the Body is a captivating exploration of the human body and the amazing capabilities of muscles.
