Discover how your immune system fights for you every day!

Immune offers a fascinating insight into the invisible war taking place inside your body. This book reveals the secrets of one of the most complex and important systems of the human organism that maintains your health and life.

The immune system like never before

On an ordinary day we rarely realize that right now millions of cells are fighting to defend us from invisible attackers - viruses, bacteria, or even cancer cells. Philipp Dettmer, author and creator of the popular YouTube channel Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell, guides you on a captivating journey through the human immune system. You will learn how antibodies work, what inflammation means, how the body defends itself against allergies, and how parasites and viruses penetrate its defenses.

The book Immune uses engaging full-color illustrations and clear descriptions that turn immunology - a seemingly complicated field - into extraordinarily interesting and compelling reading. You will understand why it’s not effective to “boost” your immune system with all kinds of remedies, and what happens in your body during an ordinary injury or viral infection - including the latest information about the coronavirus.

Become part of the enormous battle taking place in your body and understand your own immunity like never before.
