Description
This Czech-language book explores how human skin works. Skin is the largest and fastest-growing organ of the human body: we look at it, touch it and live in it every day. It is home to an extraordinarily complex world of microorganisms, removes waste products from the body, alerts us to diseases deeper within it and serves as a dynamic immune barrier against infections. Alongside its many physiological functions essential to health and survival, skin also plays an irreplaceable social role and is central to our perception of human identity. Monty Lyman takes readers on a journey across this underappreciated and relatively unexplored organ from the perspectives of science, sociology and history, showing that skin is far stranger, more remarkable and more complex than we can imagine.
