IMMUNE A Journey into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive

Steve Taylor's native British accent and lighthearted cadences work well in his narration of this encyclopedic guide, one of many print and video lessons the German author has created. Dettmer prides himself on making complicated subjects easy for anyone to understand without sacrificing accuracy or depth. Like the other information offered on his YouTube channel, "Kurzgesagt--In a Nutshell," this is an exceptional guide, a conversational explanation of how myriad biochemical processes work together in our bodies to protect us from harm. With the help of Taylor's cheery performance and the author's facility with colorful metaphors, this is friendly and accessible information in an age of heightened biological vulnerability. It's the ultimate road map for anyone curious about how our immune system protects us from cancer, injury, dysfunction, and infections like Covid.
