首作即進入科普書最高榮譽「英國皇家學會科學圖書獎」決選《週日泰晤士報》年度好書、《圖書館學刊》星號書評、《書目》星號書評、《自然》、《時代》、《紐約客》、《出版人週刊》、《科克斯書評》等各大媒體盛讚「它不只是一張包裹內臟的包裝紙！」科學與人文的結合，一部漫談外表與內在關聯的皮膚之書。沒有哪個器官是像皮膚這樣，同時扮演如此多重的生理與社會角色。它是抵禦外界的屏障，每天承受無數次的抓扒揉捏，卻不容易破裂。它是無數微生物的棲息地，其上的居民都倚賴它的溫度、濕度、毛髮與流動再它下方的溫暖血液。皮膚是一面螢幕，能及時反映內心的活動，無論是一陣臉紅、冒冷汗或臉上的表情，都將我們的情緒展露無遺。它也是一本可供瀏覽的書，皮膚的顏色或狀態，刺在上面的圖騰或疤痕，都向我們訴說著血淋淋的歷史，或是每個生命獨有的故事。透過皮膚，我們得以看見科學的驚奇，也得以窺探皮膚如何形塑我們的自我認同，以及它如何影響全人類的歷史、語言和文化。你知道嗎？──⚫皮膚之所以能防水，是因為角質細胞呈緊密的十四面體。⚫大吃宵夜會使你容易被曬傷，因為皮膚細胞會延遲啟動抵抗紫外線的基因。⚫現代醫學能透過移植皮膚微生物來改善體味，而且效果長達一年。⚫金融海嘯期間，歐美罹患乾癬的人口大幅增加，因為情緒壓力是導致乾癬的首因。⚫手指和腳趾在泡水之後會起皺不是因為脫水，而是神經系統為了增加摩擦力而做出的反應。⚫進入寺院前要淨身、穆斯林婦女要穿戴黑色罩袍、亞當夏娃吃了禁果後發現自己赤身露體......，皮膚在宗教上的神聖隱喻其實隨處可見。⚫傳統的坦尚尼亞人相信與白化症患者發生性關係可以治癒愛滋病，然而這也造成二○○○年以來有數百人因此遭到綁架或殺害......⚫「黑人的命也是命」、「好萊塢洗白」等社會輿論顯示，古往今來，膚色是導致人類之間出現分歧的最大因素。⚫西方社會從二○年代崇尚白皙皮膚到今天人人都追求「健康的古銅色肌膚」，竟然和可可．香奈兒有關。⚫表面上，皮膚將我們與外界隔絕，事實上卻是一座能讓外界與內在互通有無的橋梁。在這本書中，作者的足跡從歐美遍及南亞、非洲及大洋洲，他將用前人與自己的親身經驗，帶你從醫學、心理學、社會學等視角，重新認識這個最大、最顯眼，卻又最容易被視而不見的神祕器官。
