Gavin Francis is a GP and writer, and in this book he takes the reader on a journey through the human body, from head to toe. There are fascinating stories about the brain, the eye, the internal organs, wrist, hands, genitals, feet and others. They are written from a clinicians perspective, with reflections on the way the body has been imagined, and new directions in medical discovery. It's described as 'both a user's guide to the body and a celebration of its marvels', which is a very apt description. It's also well written, and beautifully packaged. A wonderful book, although perhaps not for the squeamish..
