The Geography of Being: Mapping the Human Landscape
What if the most extraordinary terrain you'll ever explore isn't found on any map, but within the boundaries of your own skin? A physician once dreamed of charting distant continents, only to discover that the human body itself is the ultimate frontier-a landscape of three trillion cells, each with its own story, all orchestrating the miracle we call life. This realization transformed a career and birthed a masterwork that bridges the clinical and the poetic, revealing how our flesh and bones contain entire universes waiting to be understood. Through decades of examining patients across Edinburgh's social spectrum, from opulent homes to struggling estates, this doctor-turned-cartographer learned that every body tells a story-of evolution, emotion, resilience, and the delicate thread connecting us all to mortality.
