Description

Our bodies are full of surprises. With 206 bones, one heart, two eyes, and ten fingers, it's easy to think we know what makes up a human. But there's more to it than meets the eye. The human body is a complex system that keeps secrets from those who would exploit it - bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, larger predators, and even other people. This book reveals the remarkable stories behind the science we're not meant to know, on matters of life and death. The authors share tales of everyday miracles that bind us together through the universal stages of life. Through their knowledge and charm, Chris van Tulleken and Xand van Tulleken lead us on a journey to discover the incredible abilities every human shares, making each ordinary body extraordinary.
