Najjednoduchší a vizuálne najpútavejší sprievodca ľudským telom Automobil, práčka, počítačová hra – to všetko prichádza do našich domácností s návodom na obsluhu. My nie. Preto sme pre vás vytvorili vašu vlastnú, osobnú používateľskú príručku. Čo nás informuje o tom, že sme hladní? Prečo cítime chvenie v žalúdku, keď sme nervózni?

Kniha Ako funguje telo vás vezme na fascinujúci prieskum zvláštnych a úžasných procesov, ktoré prebiehajú vo vašom organizme, často bez vášho vedomia. Dozviete sa, ako vás telo udržiava nažive, prečo máte závrat, prečo cítite chvenie v žalúdku alebo prečo trpíte pásmovou chorobou.
