Frances Hider interviews Gavin Francis about his latest book in another video from our Edinburgh International Book Festival author interview series.

Edinburgh GP Gavin Francis spent over a year at a remote research station to write the Scottish Book of the Year-winning Empire Antarctica, but now he’s looking inwards for Adventures in Human Being. While we live with our own bodies, few of us really know what’s actually going on inside. Francis reflects on the surprising variety of ways the body has been imagined and portrayed over the centuries.
