On muscle : the stuff that moves us and why it matters / Bonnie Tsui.

Tsui, Bonnie, (author.).

Summary:

"Cardiac, smooth, skeletal--these three different types of muscles in our bodies make our hearts beat; push food through our intestines, blood through our vessels, babies out the uterus; attach to our bones and allow for motion. Tsui also traces how muscles have defined beauty--and how they have distorted it--through the ages, and how they play an essential role in our physical and mental health."-- From publisher's description.
