"Adventures in Human Being, with its deft mix of the clinical and the lyrical, is a triumph of the eloquent brain and the compassionate heart." -- Wall Street Journal

We assume we know our bodies intimately, but for many of us they remain uncharted territory, an enigma of bone and muscle, neurons and synapses. How many of us understand the way seizures affect the brain, how the heart is connected to well-being, or the why the foot holds the key to our humanity? In

Adventures in Human Being: A Grand Tour from the Cranium to the Calcaneum by Gavin Francis Book Review

Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: Fascinating essays on anatomy and physiology
Date: Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2016
Review: Dr. Francis’s book of essays takes one on a fascinating anatomical cook’s tour—literally from head to toe. The book uses patient case histories, tales from med school, great moments in medical history, and even references to art and pop culture to intrigue the reader with the awesome nature of the human body. This isn’t the kind of book that tries to tell one everything there is to know on a subject. Rather it drills deep on specific subjects, but with humor and readability. While the book examines specific issues pertaining to the body part under consideration, it gives the layman reader the necessary background to comprehend even the most complex topics, often through interesting factoids.

In 18 chapters divided into seven parts by regions of the body, one will learn about topics such as: electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), the almost ancient art of cataract surgery, botoxing of Bell’s Palsy patients, how the Epley manoeuver is used to seemingly miraculously cure vertigo through snappy head movements, why Renaissance thinkers thought the soul resided in the lips, why having one’s blood circulated pulselessly causes problems, how a “Brachial stun” immobilizes an arm, why suicidal wrist slashers rarely succeed, where the nail goes in a proper crucifixion, how kidneys became the gift that keeps giving, how a scratch on the hand almost cost a gardener her life and what her liver did to save her, why your bowel movements matter, how fetoliths (i.e. “stone babies”) come to reside in the abdomens of older women, why--in some cultures--it’s necessary to eat the afterbirth while others insist on burying it under the house, why the hip’s blood supply is lacking, and how the foot is really more specialized and consequential to human existence than our hands and their well-publicized opposable thumbs.

My wife got me this book after seeing it on the list of the best books of 2015 put out by “The Economist” magazine. It was an excellent choice and it moved it quickly to the front of my reading list. I’d highly recommend it for anyone interested in science, medicine, anatomy, physiology, or the human body.

Title: Flesh, Blood & Bones
Date: Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2016
Review: What could be more interesting? Exploration of body from head to foot from a doctor's perspective, which basically implies when something goes wrong. Book includes fascinating facts from medical history as if to compare what we think we know to what we used to think we knew. Case by case, the stories range from mundane injury to obscure malady, with each patient used as a touchstone to describe deeper mysteries of our astonishing home. Though the reader can not help but absorb some knowledge, the author is not teaching or lecturing, simply sharing his wonder. Dr. Gavin barely mentions episodes in war zones or treating epidemics that most would consider, probably because he considers medicine a calling and so avoids calling attention to himself. The tone and pitch and rhythm are almost lyrical, a meditation. Plain but poetic prose expresses deep thoughts based on personal experience.

Title: Not Enough On Anatomy and Medical Practice, Too Much on Other Stuff
Date: Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2016
Review: I was disappointed in this book, given its fascinating topic and the excellent reviews that it received. For me, the most positive thing about the book were the stories about the writer's interactions with his patients -- deeply human, and often deeply moving. I wish that there had been of this -- showing how medicine is actually practiced -- and more information about its putative subject, anatomy. In exchange, I could have done with a good deal less of the historical material and various other wanderings. The book would also have been much improved, I think, by accurate and readable anatomical diagrams. Given that so many people very much liked the book, my response may be more my problem than the authors. But those who like a book that sticks to its subject may be disappointed.

Title: Anatomical "Melody" Set to Narrative "Music" through Complementary "Harmonies"
Date: Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2016
Review: Just finished savoring and reflecting on the book, Adventures in Human Being. I appreciated many dimensions of this work, most particularly the primary medical and anatomical “melody” complemented by multiple “harmonies” that encompassed human custom, linguistics, history, and archaeology, as well as philosophy, poetry, and psychology. The organic “connectedness” of the volume makes it all the more compelling. I came away with far greater appreciation for seemingly mundane entities, such as my hands and feet. In addition, Dr. Francis's deeply respectful yet matter-of-fact treatment of the end of human life was uplifting, and indeed inspiring. In many ways, this work sounded a similar chord with the writing of the late Harvard zoologist and geologist, Dr. Stephen Jay Gould, who had written about human beings—at the core—being essentially “wet biology.”

Title: Whyyy would you do that?
Date: Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2016
Review: My Human Biology teacher used this book as his "textbook" for our class. This class was not for science majors, so it didn't make sense for him to be all textbook & tests about it. It made the class so much more interesting! It's a great book with some strange oddities thrown in there...you did what with WHAT??!! It's a short story style with each part of the body. I enjoyed reading this book.
Great book, great writer.

Review: Las historias son en gran parte interesantes, cultas e informativas; otras, muy pocas, no guardan mucha relación con la parte del cuerpo que el autor aborda; en general, muy interesante el libro.
