Inmune

Often the things that affect us the most remain hidden from view. This is the case of the immune system, as essential to us as the heart or the lungs, but unknown to most people. In this illustrated book, science popularizer Philipp Dettmer helps us unravel the secrets of the complex system that keeps us alive. Knowing better the keys of immunology is not a mere exercise of curiosity, but a resource to understand what happens to our body when we get sick and how we can avoid it, thereby improving our health and increasing our life expectancy. At Inmune, Dettmer continues and expands on the outreach work he does on his hugely popular YouTube channel "In a Nutshell," one of the most viewed channels in the world. Full of attractive graphics and illustrations, this rigorous but accessible book for all audiences invites us on a journey to learn in detail how our immune system works and protects us.
