What do we know about our body? For many of us, it remains an unexplored territory—a mystery of bones and muscles, neurons and synapses. Gavin Francis takes us on a journey through the human body, describing how it works from the inside and the wonders that happen within it. Drawing on his experience as a surgeon and family doctor, he blends fascinating clinical cases with episodes from the history of medicine, philosophy, and literature to describe the body in sickness and in health, in life and in death more vividly than we can imagine.
