Sunday Times bestseller We have a lifetime's association with our
bodies, but for many of us they remain uncharted territory. In
Adventures in Human Being, Gavin Francis leads the reader on a
journey through health and illness, offering insights on everything
from the ribbed surface of the brain to the secret workings of the
heart and the womb; from the pulse of life at the wrist to the
unique engineering of the foot. Drawing on his own experiences as a
doctor and GP, he blends first-hand case studies with reflections
on the way the body has been imagined and portrayed over the
millennia. If the body is a foreign country, then to practise
medicine is to explore new territory: Francis leads the reader on
an adventure through what it means to be human. Both a user's guide
to the body and a celebration of its elegance, this book will
transform the way you think about being alive, whether in sickness
or in health. Published in association with the Wellcome
Collection. WELLCOME COLLECTION Wellcome Collection is a free
museum and library that aims to challenge how we think and feel
about health. Inspired by the medical objects and curiosities
collected by Henry Wellcome, it connects science, medicine, life
and art. Wellcome Collection exhibitions, events and books explore
a diverse range of subjects, including consciousness, forensic
medicine, emotions, sexology, identity and death. Wellcome
Collection is part of Wellcome, a global charitable foundation that
exists to improve health for everyone by helping great ideas to
thrive, funding over 14,000 researchers and projects in more than
70 countries. wellcomecollection.org
