hedgehognerd 's review for:
Alive: An Alternative Anatomy
by Gabriel Weston
Alive is one of those books that takes you beyond science and into experience. I loved the flow of the book as we focus on the different organs, it was like travelling through the body on an exploration. There are some more scientific parts, with my basic knowledge
I felt I understood everything and at the same time expanded my mind. If you are on the more squeamish side then be prepared for detailed passages. Be this is an intimate examination after all and the brutal reality of the sciences. I loved the incorporation of art and also of the authors real life experiences. We all have a body yet we don’t know even half of what it does and how that’s achieved. If you want a personalised story and a fascinating read then this book is for you. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC. This is a voluntary review of my own thoughts.
