'I don't know anyone who can take complex scientific concepts and make them more accessible, stimulating and fun than Emma Young. It is truly a kind of genius. And the illustrations are wonderful, too.' -- Bill Bryson
I learned SO MUCH from Emma Young and John Devolle's brilliantly witty and stylish book. Their tour of the human body is totally unique and a feast for all 32 senses! * Isabel Thomas, science writer and children's author *
