Do you know why your heart beats differently when you're happy or scared, or how you move and eat, or even why you fart? Taking you through all the key body parts, Dr Punam Krishan tells you everything you've ever wanted to know about yourself. Discover the maze that is the brain, the power of your muscles, and the magic behind the gut - and how they are all connected! With fun, bite-sized facts, colourful illustrations, and more than 90 flaps to lift, every page is an eye-opening discovery. You and Your Body is an empowering first look at the human anatomy by BBC Morning Live resident GP and contestant on Strictly Come Dancing 2024, Dr Punam Krishan.

The Vulnerable Andaman and Nicobar Islands

A Study of Disasters and Response

By: Punam Tripathi

This first full-length book addresses disasters in the context of vulnerability of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands that comprise 572 islands in the Bay of Bengal. It looks at the disasters that the islands have experienced in the last 200 years and analyzes major disasters since colonization by the British. Raising some critical questions, this book attempts to understand the overall profile of disasters – the facts, causes, damage, response and recovery – in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It discusses earthquakes, cyclones, tsunami and epidemics, as well as impacts of World War II, the penal colony and the post-Independence resettlement on the tribal population. The work will serve as a rich resource with its detailed tables, figures, maps and diagrams; appendices; and database ranging from travelogues, Census of India reports and fieldwork to Right to Information (RTI) petitions that collect hitherto unknown facts. The book will be useful to students of geography, disasters and disasters management, climate and environmental studies, history, sociology, island and ocean studies, and South Asian studies.
