Product Description

Product Description
Man Mk 1 has been around a very long time, the basic model having remained unchanged for a lot longer that the original Model T Ford. Engine, chassis and bodywork spec are not a great deal different from that seen in the super cool showrooms of the last Ice Age. With a little care, this high performance machine will last a long lifetime with minimal need for maintenance or spare parts. However, like any piece of high technology, a basic understanding of what goes on beneath the bonnet will greatly aid longevity. Men tend to view their bodies in a mechanistic way, which is fine, as long as the working tolerances of their particular model are not exceeded and regular maintenance takes place. Designed to help men look after themselves, this text takes a general look at men's health.

About the Author
Ian Banks is the President of the European Men's Health Forum, official BMA spokesman on men's health, author of the NHS Direct Health Care Guide, frequent broadcaster and, much more importantly, spends many hours underneath cars as well as inside people as a practising casualty doctor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best men's health book ever, 15 Nov 2002
By A Customer
I bought this book for my dad's birthday as he's mad about cars. He thought it was fantastic - really kept him entertained as he learnt more about how to look after his body (like he looks after his car!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally Unique, 14 Nov 2002
This is a fantastic idea - marrying the two greatest loves in a man's life - his health and his car.

Seriously, this book is well written, informative, and may even save your (or a loved one's) life. A great Christmas present its sure to be a big seller.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good book, but..., 2 Mar 2004
What a brilliant idea, a simple easy to follow guide to maintaining the human body in the form of a car maintenance manual. I bought it with a view to ensuring I applied its contents on keeping myself "on the road".

To be perfectly honest thought I've only looked at it a couple of times and all my copy does now is look good on the shelf and provide amusing conversation when we have visitors. It is a good book and has sound medical advice in it (perfect for any hypochondriacs) but like most car manuals, you'll only dip in to it when something is going wrong.

I'd say it is good as a Birthday/Christmas present for your dad, especially for any that are fascinated by cars but doesn't really go in to enough detail on any particular subject to really do what I wanted.
