"Dr Alice Roberts book don't die young is an excellent introduction for the layperson to understand how to look after your body and the consequences of what might happen if you mistreat this most precious piece of equipment. Well written and with very good photographs and diagrams helps this book to bring the message home and should be on every ones bookshelf. Organs such as the skin, brain, liver and eye are revealed in plenty of detail. The thing about Dr Roberts is that she does not talk down to you and makes you feel that you should actually be responsible for your own health care. Read it and learn, take heed of the warning lights, and hopefully you might just avoid an early death through a bad diet and too much alcohol. "

"I love this book. It's clear, authorative and witty. It contains much more nformation than the BBC series and demonstrates the author's considerable knowledge and range of experience. I would strongly recommend this beautifully illustrated book to anyone interested in anatomy and health."
