    "Bonnie Tsui is a poet of physicality, and this book is an ode--one that explores our literal and metaphoric hearts. It is muscle as memory, muscle as meaning, muscle as magic. I am, in all ways, stronger for reading it." -- Peggy Orenstein, New York Times bestselling author of Girls & Sex and Boys & Sex, "Bonnie Tsui has done something remarkable. Fusing science writing, memoir, and essay, she has written a singular book about the true meanings of strength and flexibility, about our ability to define who we are and who we might be, and about what muscle means to the kind of people who rarely feature in stereotypical stories of strength and fitness. On Muscle is a truly moving ode to the tissues that move us." -- Ed Yong, New York Times bestselling author of I Contain Multitudes and An Immense World, Praise for W hy We Swim "A beautifully written love letter to water and a fascinating story. I was enchanted." -- Rebecca Skloot, bestselling author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks "Tsui endears herself to the reader . . . Her universal query is also one of self, and her articulations of what she learns are moving." -- The New York Times Book Review "Tsui's history of the human relationship with water is compelling and profound, in writing so fluid it mimics the flow of her subject . . . It captivated me from start to finish." -- BuzzFeed "Magnificent. Only a truly great story can hold my attention and Why We Swim had me nailed to the chair . . . I love this book." -- Christopher McDougall, bestselling author of Born to Run and Natural Born Heroes " Why We Swim is a gorgeous hybrid of a book. You won't regret diving in." --Carl Zimmer, author of She Has Her Mother's Laugh: The Powers, Perversions, and Potential of Heredity "Bonnie Tsui captures the joy, peril and utility of swimming, within her family and across civilizations . . . The breadth of her reporting and grace of her writing make the elements of Why We Swim move harmoniously as one." -- The San Francisco Chronicle "Fascinating." -- Booklist, starred review -- --, "Beautifully written and so very smartly conceived, On Muscle takes you places that you expect it to and places that you don't. It's like Bonnie Tsui's splendid Why We Swim that way. Yes, there are bodybuilders and barbells in these pages, but Tsui is more concerned with the meaning of strength, the interplay of brain and brawn, and the importance and glory of motion in life. Her book is about being alive." -- Frank Bruni, New York Times bestselling author of The Beauty of Dusk and The Age of Grievance, "Bonnie Tsui's beautiful and entertaining storytelling made me forget I was absorbing essential knowledge. On Muscle left me with a new appreciation for the mind-body connection and a better understanding of my place in the world." -- Des Linden, New York Times bestselling author of Choosing to Run

    Synopsis
    From the bestselling author of Why We Swim comes a mind-expanding exploration of muscle that will change the way you think about what moves us through the world. "Remarkable . . . A singular book about the true meanings of strength and flexibility, about our ability to define who we are and who we might be." --Ed Yong, New York Times bestselling author of An Immense World and I Contain Multitudes In On Muscle , Bonnie Tsui brings her signature blend of science, culture, immersive reporting, and personal narrative to examine not just what muscles are but what they mean to us. Cardiac, smooth, skeletal--these three different types of muscle 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. Tsui introduces us to the first female weightlifter to pick up the famed Scottish Dinnie Stones, then takes us on a 50-mile run through the Nevada desert that follows the path of escape from a Native boarding school--and gives the concept of endurance new meaning. She travels to Oslo, where cutting-edge research reveals how muscles help us bounce back after injury and illness, an important aspect of longevity. She jumps into the action with a historic Double Dutch club in Washington, D.C., to explain anew what Charles Darwin meant by the brain-body connection. Woven throughout are stories of Tsui's childhood with her Chinese immigrant artist dad--a black belt in karate--who schools her from a young age in a kind of quirky, in-house Muscle Academy. On Muscle shows us the poetry in the physical, and the surprising ways muscle can reveal what we're capable of.
