Gavin Francis Adventures in Human Being he travels along the body from head to feet, taking a close look at organs and body parts. Francis is a Scottish surgeon with a lot of practical experience. But he certainly did not turn this book into a dry, encyclopaedic exposé. On the contrary, Francis writes very smoothly, provides a minimum of technical-scientific information and focuses mainly on very concrete cases of people who have a problem with a certain body part. Those scenes are alternately intriguing, endearing and sometimes also hard to stomach, for example when he describes brain surgery or the dying process of an old, demented woman with cancer.
Exceptional poetic, lyrical (quotes too by past poets and philosophers included)detailing of the human body. Human body systems are equated to geographic shapes and movements of wider nature through the treatments of their own special workings. Dr. Francis starts with the brain and moves on down to the last chapter on feet /toes.
