'Through wonderful analogies and a genius for clarifying complex
ideas, Immune is a truly brilliant introduction to
the human body's vast system for fighting infections and other
threats. With his trademark wit and intellectual deft, Dettmer
helps us understand not just the beautiful and strange mechanics of
human immune responses, but also what works (and perhaps more
importantly what doesn't work!) when seeking to bolster immunity.'
-- John Green
'Immune reads as if it's a riveting sci-fi novel, as Philipp
Dettmer takes you on a journey into the body for an up-close look
at the armies of expert warriors, rogue gladiators, and stealthy
detectives that protect you in the daily war against trillions of
ruthless microbe enemies. By the end of the book, I understood my
entire body far better than I ever had before. Immune is
a delightful treat for the curious' -- Tim Urban
