lauren_endnotes's review against another edition
4.0
Svec takes a whirling tour through the human vestibular system, and covers proprioception, motion sickness, various balance disorders and diseases, substances that inhibit balance, and how to prevent falls as we age (spoiler: be active - with varied experiences and movement! Try new things!) She channels Mary Roach's pop science style, and largely succeeds, but some of the side commentary and writing style take a small toll. Not everyone can be quite as witty as Roach, but a noble effort.
I read this as an ebook rental, and am considering a hard copy of my own. There was some great information here on the anatomy and mechanics of the inner ear and various disorders that I want to refer back to, check references, and use in my teaching. We are in a constant state of flux - we need balance!
