“The Body” is a cross-disciplinary category gathering books that explore the human body—how it works, how it’s experienced, and how it’s understood. It spans accessible science and medicine (anatomy, physiology, neuroscience, genetics, microbiome), practical health and wellness (nutrition, movement, sleep, aging, reproductive health), and memoirs or narratives of illness, disability, athleticism, and recovery. It also includes cultural and historical perspectives on embodiment, body image, gender, race, sexuality, and body politics; histories of medicine and surgery; and topics like forensics, bioethics, and public health. Visual and creative approaches—dance, somatics, photography, and body modification—as well as speculative takes on augmentation and body horror may appear. Together, these works connect biological insight with lived experience and social meaning.
