Adventures in Human Being by Gavin Francis

5.0

At first I was a little disappointed as I had imagined it to be similar to books by Henry Marsh. However, it grew on me and by the end I was full of admiration for the author. Each chapter refers to a different part of the body and includes perspectives from history, different cultures, poetry and art as well as medicine. What is more a genuine compassion underpins all his observations.
Very well written.
