Inside You

Nanocam is an imaginary camera, bristling with lenses, lasers and other gadgets, yet small enough to be swallowed and sent on a journey around the body. It will send back amazing pictures! Don’t expect a traditional guide to the systems of the body – such information is relegated to a brief reference section at the end of the book – but be prepared for an extraordinary rollercoaster ride through the blood vessels, organs and nerves of the body. And this being the popular world of guts and gore, we see the inside of the nose during a sneeze, what happens to the bladder during a visit to the loo, the eruption of a pustular spot, a technicolor vomit and a gallery of bugs ranging from head lice to eyelash mites. Microphotographs reveal germs and parasites, mucus and cilia, and a host of different body cells. An exciting new view of the body with an accompanying CD-rom that allows you to repeat the journey in animated form.
