In his beautifully written prose, Dr Jonathan Reisman - physician,
adventure traveller and naturalist - allows readers to navigate
their insides like an explorer discovering a new world. Through his
offbeat adventures in healthcare and travel, Reisman discovers new
perspectives on the body: a trip to the Alaskan Arctic reveals that
fat is not the enemy, but the hero; a stint in the Himalayas
uncovers the boundary where the brain ends and the mind begins; and
eating a sheep's head in Iceland offers a lesson in empathy. By
relating his experiences in far-flung lands and among unique
cultures back to the body's inner workings, he shows how our organs
live inextricably intertwined lives in an internal ecosystem that
reflects the natural world around us. Reisman's unique perspective
on the natural world and his expert wielding of wit ultimately
helps us make sense of our lives, our bodies and our world in a way
readers have never before imagined. 'An elegant, elegiac, and
deeply enjoyable meander through human anatomy . . . the images
Reisman conjures will linger long after you've devoured his
delightful prose.' - Nicola Twilley, co-author of Until Proven Safe
and co-host of Gastropod podcast
