Summary
An all-in-one visual guide to human anatomy with encyclopedic coverage from bones and muscles to systems and processes。 This in-depth manual to the human body's physical structure， chemical workings， and potential problems is a must-have reference to help further your studies or knowledge of how our bodies work。
Each page of The Human Body Book， updated to reflect the latest medical information， is illustrated with colourful and comprehensive diagrams， which are thoroughly annotated to take you right into the cells and fibres that are responsible for keeping the human body ticking。
The opening chapter， Integrated Body， explains how the parts of the body work together at various levels of size and hierarchy to produce the living whole。 It also contains an overview of the major body systems， enlivened by real-life 3D medical scans of the entire body。 The chapters that follow provide coverage of the body function by function， system by system。 Eleven main body systems are covered in turn， with each section ending on common injuries， diseases， and disorders afflicting that system。 The book concludes with a chapter on Growth and Development which looks in detail at how the body changes over the course of a human lifespan。

A very interesting book。 I saw people recommend it to young children。 It's definitely for a bit older since it does introduce quite a lot of medical words。 Overall the visuals and text made it very easy to follow and thoroughly interesting。 A very interesting book。 I saw people recommend it to young children。 It's definitely for a bit older since it does introduce quite a lot of medical words。 Overall the visuals and text made it very easy to follow and thoroughly interesting。 。。。more

Recuerdo que mis papás me compraron este libro de pequeña cuando quería ser doctora。 Por muchos años lo hojeaba y veía sus preciosas ilustraciones pero hasta ahora me he dado el gusto de leerlo completo。 Creo que es una joya por el material y la redacción que tiene， es de fácil compresión y muy bien resumido。 No lo recomiendo para niños pequeños sino tal vez de adolescentes a adultos。

Not sure where this book fits。 It's "coffee table" book sized， but the content is definitely not light reading for the coffee table。 I remember getting this book when I was in high school and wanted to go into medicine， but I cannot imagine this was really useful for someone actually in medical school， unless as a quick reference for anatomy。 A bit niche of a coffee table book， but interesting nonetheless。 For a full discussion of what makes a good "coffee table book" check out this episode of t Not sure where this book fits。 It's "coffee table" book sized， but the content is definitely not light reading for the coffee table。 I remember getting this book when I was in high school and wanted to go into medicine， but I cannot imagine this was really useful for someone actually in medical school， unless as a quick reference for anatomy。 A bit niche of a coffee table book， but interesting nonetheless。 For a full discussion of what makes a good "coffee table book" check out this episode of the podcast "From the Archives": https://anchor。fm/anthropologyarchive。。。。 。。。more

OK I know these are supposed to be kid books but they are awesome！ Great pictures and just enough text to make you want to learn more。 Great choices for a beginning reader or to start an older reader out in a new area。 Every time I pick one of these up and read it I learn new things。 Highly Recommended

I used to flip through this book all the time as a young child。。。 It isn't disappointing to pick up as an adult， either！ Full of learning material， this book is one I have spent hours pondering。 I will continue reading this probably for as long as it takes for me to finish every single page。 I used to flip through this book all the time as a young child。。。 It isn't disappointing to pick up as an adult， either！ Full of learning material， this book is one I have spent hours pondering。 I will continue reading this probably for as long as it takes for me to finish every single page。 。。。more

Eyewitness Human Body is filled with wonderfully detailed pictures of realistic models of various body parts and systems。 It is compelling and fascinating reading， while just about avoiding being gory or inappropriate。

My third grade son checked this book out from the library。 He is fascinated with the human body。 He also became fascinated with the images of the developing fetuses。 Of course this led to the inevitable conversation of how the fetus got into the mommy's belly in the first place。 He decided that God put stardust there and caused it to grow。 My third grade son checked this book out from the library。 He is fascinated with the human body。 He also became fascinated with the images of the developing fetuses。 Of course this led to the inevitable conversation of how the fetus got into the mommy's belly in the first place。 He decided that God put stardust there and caused it to grow。 。。。more

This is definitely meant to be a reference book， not something you straight read through。 The variety of images was nice， especially when broken down by body system （and showing how body systems overlap）。 However， a lot of this information seemed like a review of what I learned in high school health science （and biology and anatomy in college）。

Human Body by Steve Parker is a book that will blow your mind。 It has info on the blood， cells， nervous system， bones， including the brain。 From early thoughts about biology， to the modern knowledge about the body， this is one book you'll want to read if you're interested into science， biology， or the body。 Human Body by Steve Parker is a book that will blow your mind。 It has info on the blood， cells， nervous system， bones， including the brain。 From early thoughts about biology， to the modern knowledge about the body， this is one book you'll want to read if you're interested into science， biology， or the body。 。。。more

I'm sure I never read through this as a child， and I hardly read through it now。 There is some interesting stuff in here， but most of it is written in that dry， encyclopedic way。 The human body is inherently interesting， but flavorless description of it kinda kills that。 The picture of the alveoli on page 26 makes me crave mini-marshmallows slowly melting in hot chocolate。（My used copy has stamped in it: Eugene Public Library。） I'm sure I never read through this as a child， and I hardly read through it now。 There is some interesting stuff in here， but most of it is written in that dry， encyclopedic way。 The human body is inherently interesting， but flavorless description of it kinda kills that。 The picture of the alveoli on page 26 makes me crave mini-marshmallows slowly melting in hot chocolate。（My used copy has stamped in it: Eugene Public Library。） 。。。more

Science Series Parker， Steven。 Eyewitness Books: The Human Body。 New York: DK Books， 2004。 Summary: Each of this book's 30 two-page spreads details one aspect of the human body system， including blood， waste disposal， the birthing process， and the nervous system。 The book also examines the medical practices and technologies that have been used throughout time to investigate or treat the human body， such as dissection and the invention of the microscope。 The information provided on each component Science Series Parker， Steven。 Eyewitness Books: The Human Body。 New York: DK Books， 2004。 Summary: Each of this book's 30 two-page spreads details one aspect of the human body system， including blood， waste disposal， the birthing process， and the nervous system。 The book also examines the medical practices and technologies that have been used throughout time to investigate or treat the human body， such as dissection and the invention of the microscope。 The information provided on each component of the human body system appears in a paragraph-long summary at the beginning of each section。 In addition， each of the book's informational spreads includes several graphics， including large-scale color photograph cross-sections of anatomical models， and photographs of surgical tools， each coming with their own paragraph-long captions， which are provided in smaller text。 Critical Review:This book， and Eyewitness Books in general， may be more appropriate for some readers than others。 Students interested in perusing the book for the sake of gleaning new information will be served quite well by this book， as it does not require- or even expect- a cover-to-cover reading。 Some special needs students and struggling readers， though， may be better served by another other scientific series if they require a book for research purposes， as each spread in this book may appear to be very cluttered with their preponderances of images and small-print blocks of text。 Students who are overwhelmed by the visuals and text in this series may want to look for a volume with fewer graphics， larger and better-spaced texts， and informational features such as sidebars and informational charts。 Target Audience: Grades 6-12 。。。more

While we didn't really read this book， we did spend a lot of time looking at the pictures and talking about what the different parts of the body were and what they did。Excellent photography and illustrations。 While we didn't really read this book， we did spend a lot of time looking at the pictures and talking about what the different parts of the body were and what they did。Excellent photography and illustrations。 。。。more

The Human Body is a great reference book。 It has lots of pictures and gives basic information about all the the body systems。 This book is for the beginner anatomy student or for people， like me， who just wants the overview of the human body。 It is not a text book where it teaches you all kinds of medical terms。 I am now reading The Complete Human Body where it goes into more detail in the skeletal and muscular systems。 Descriptions are given for each muscle and bone of the body。 I do recommend The Human Body is a great reference book。 It has lots of pictures and gives basic information about all the the body systems。 This book is for the beginner anatomy student or for people， like me， who just wants the overview of the human body。 It is not a text book where it teaches you all kinds of medical terms。 I am now reading The Complete Human Body where it goes into more detail in the skeletal and muscular systems。 Descriptions are given for each muscle and bone of the body。 I do recommend this book to those who are interested in learning more about the human body but not wanting to study it in detail with all the medical terms。 。。。more

It's hard to classify this anatomy book among the myriad if options。 It's high quality and worth a look。 It's probably best left on a coffee table。 It's hard to classify this anatomy book among the myriad if options。 It's high quality and worth a look。 It's probably best left on a coffee table。 。。。more

This is an excellent book for readers of all ages from 1st grade to adulthood。 If a younger reader reads this， I would suggest some parent guidance。 The illustrations are excellent。 For anyone wanting to know about the internal structures of the body， this is a perfect book。 It is a great book to use for a unit about health or the body。
