The Universe Inside You: The Extreme Science of the Human Body from Quantum Physics to the Mysteries of the Human Brain has just arrived in the Icon Books office!

In the sequel to his bestselling Inflight Science, Brian Clegg explores mitochondria, in-cell powerhouses which are thought to have once been separate creatures; how your eyes are quantum traps, consuming photons of light from the night sky that have travelled for millions of years; your many senses, which include the ability to detect warps in space and time, and why meeting an attractive person can turn you into a gibbering idiot.

The Universe Inside You provides fascinating facts and mind-boggling science of the human body and will be published 5th April 2012. You can read more about the book here.
