  • THE UNSEEN BODY by Jonathan Reisman, read by Robert Petkoff - audiobook extract
    In his beautifully written prose, Dr Jonathan Reisman - physician, adventure traveller and naturalist - allows listeners to navigate their insides like an explorer discovering a new world.
    Through his offbeat adventures in healthcare and travel, Reisman discovers new perspectives on the body: a trip to the Alaskan Arctic reveals that fat is not the enemy, but the hero; a stint in the Himalayas uncovers the boundary where the brain ends and the mind begins; and eating a sheep's head in Iceland offers a lesson in empathy. By relating his experiences in far-flung lands and among unique cultures back to the body's inner workings, he shows how our organs live inextricably intertwined lives in an internal ecosystem that reflects the natural world around us.
    Reisman's unique perspective on the natural world and his expert wielding of wit ultimately helps us make sense of our lives, our bodies and our world in a way readers have never before imagined.

He's had the insider of insider access to the drama's unfolding, including exclusive conversations with the world's top public health experts and behind-the-scenes scientists racing to find treatments and cures. And now he's sharing what he's learned in an audiobook that will answer not only all our questions about what happened but also about how our world will change in the years ahead, even once we're back to 'normal'.

    He answers critical questions: can we stamp out the virus for good (and if not, how do we live with it)? Should we put our parents in a nursing home? Does it make sense to spend more on health insurance to deal with any long-term effects? How do you decide when it's safe to go to a public pool or schedule elective surgery? What should COVID survivors know about protecting their future health? What if you become a long-hauler with chronic health challenges stemming?
    World War C will give you hope for the future along with real information that leaves you more resilient and secure.
