NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A gorgeously illustrated deep dive into the immune system that will forever change how you think about your body, from the creator of the popular science YouTube channel Kurzgesagt—In a Nutshell
“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.”—John Green, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars
You wake up and feel a tickle in your throat. Your head hurts. You’re mildly annoyed as you get the kids ready for school and dress for work yourself. Meanwhile, an epic war is being fought, just below your skin. Millions are fighting and dying for you to be able to complain as you head out the door.
But most of us never really stop to ask: What even is our immune system?
Second only to the human brain in its complexity, it is one of the oldest and most critical facets of life on Earth. Without it, you would die within days. In Immune, Philipp Dettmer, the brains behind the most popular science channel on YouTube, takes readers on a journey through the fortress of the human body and its defenses. There is a constant battle of staggering scale raging within us, full of stories of invasion, strategy, defeat, and noble self-sacrifice. In fact, in the time you’ve been reading this, your immune system has probably identified and eradicated a cancer cell that started to grow in your body.
Each chapter delves into an element of the immune system, including defenses like antibodies and inflammation as well as threats like bacteria, allergies, and cancer, as Dettmer reveals why boosting your immune system is actually nonsense, how parasites sneak their way past your body’s defenses, how viruses work, and what goes on in your wounds when you cut yourself.
Enlivened by engaging full-color graphics and immersive descriptions, Immune turns one of the most intricate, interconnected, and confusing subjects—immunology—into a gripping adventure through an astonishing alien landscape. Immune is a vital and remarkably fun crash course in what is arguably, and increasingly, the most important system in the body.

So you have probably heard that you have white blood cells and they are your immune cells or something like that. Well, while this name has its use in the right context it just generally means "the cells of the immune system" and I don't think immunology has done itself a favor with this term. "White blood cells" describes so many different cells that do so many different things that it is sort of useless if you want to understand what is really going on here. So you can forget "white blood cells" again because we are not going to use it. (查看原文)
Immune 5 stars This is a general book about immunology. After being infected with Covid, I want to read a book that informs me about what is happening inside my body on the micro-level. Before opening it, I didn’t know I would enjoy this book so much. The ...

免疫系统是五大防御系统之一。最有趣的是作者到最后快要总结的时候说到没有booster免疫系统这一说，而是要达到体内平衡。再多的知识，不好好地实践都是白搭。所以平衡的饮食和锻炼实现这个平衡的基础，当然，还有不要太有压力。

看了一章中文版觉得这书值得买个原版实体书，收到之后果然是令人爱不释手。先读了几章又决定自己边读边录下来好以后回顾。作者把免疫系统，细胞，细菌和病毒拟人化的写法，与以前看过的日本科普动漫《工作细胞》有异曲同工之妙，但是知识更严谨更详细。作者不愧是能够吸引百万人订阅的优秀科普主播，能把很多很复杂的知识讲得条理清晰生动有趣，深谙深入浅出精髓的大师。读完这本书感觉收获满满，总共45章300多页却还让我觉得... 看了一章中文版觉得这书值得买个原版实体书，收到之后果然是令人爱不释手。先读了几章又决定自己边读边录下来好以后回顾。作者把免疫系统，细胞，细菌和病毒拟人化的写法，与以前看过的日本科普动漫《工作细胞》有异曲同工之妙，但是知识更严谨更详细。作者不愧是能够吸引百万人订阅的优秀科普主播，能把很多很复杂的知识讲得条理清晰生动有趣，深谙深入浅出精髓的大师。读完这本书感觉收获满满，总共45章300多页却还让我觉得意犹未尽，还想了解更深更多，这算是一本科普书能够达到的最高境界了吧。 (展开)
