The body in question

  • Jonathan Miller

0

0 ratings

Fantastic look at how we came to discover the human body. This book is fun to read out loud as the prose is other worldly. Dr Miller looks at select systems (eg. blood, lungs, reproductive etc) in the body and wonderfully pieces together the history, both scientific and mythologic, of how we came to our current understanding. Highly recommended for anyone considering a career in medicine. It will change your view of our body and the world.
