Pocket Primers are lively, visual introductions to the most interesting topics of today. The series covers subjects that we overhear in conversation or on the news but which, frankly, we'd all like to understand better. We assume that you are a bit like us: you want well-researched information distilled into digestible chunks and you enjoy the analogue thrill of rather lovely images in a beautifully designed book.

'The Gut: A Pocket Primer' by Amy Fleming, 128pp, paperback, 112 x 165mm.
