Description
Jonathan Reisman, M.D.—a physician, adventure traveler, and naturalist—brings readers on an odyssey, navigating our insides like an explorer discovering a new world. A trip to the Alaskan Artic 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. Bu relating rich experiences in far-flung lands and among unique cultures back to the body's inner workings, he shows how organs live inextricable intertwined lives—an internal ecosystem reflecting the natural world around us. New and deeply moving The Unseen Body is an adventure like no other.
