Description
This book quite literally comes to life off the page. It is the most imaginative, inspiring, and dramatic human body book on the market. Forget heavy reference books, forget linear narratives, open your eyes and be amazed by the creativity of this human body book. Travel through the body's systems using a host of novelty features - pop-ups, flaps, sound chips, acetate, pull-tabs, fibre optics and much more - to illustrate, inform, stimulate, and entertain. Every special feature works to demystify the miracle of creation that is your body. See the skeleton jump off the page, peel away your organs layer by layer, listen to the heart beat and watch it move within an awe-inspiring 3D ribcage. There's something for all the family in this graphic portrayal of the human body. But not only is it fun, it is also authoritative and well researched. The author, Richard Walker is an award-winning science writer and his text is fresh, revealing and accessible for everyone.
