Description
The Concise Human Body Book is just that, a concise (7 ½ x 5 ¾) version of the Human Body Book. This book covers the integrated body; skeletal system; muscular system; nervous system; endocrine system; cardiovascular system, respiratory system; skin, hair, and nails; lymph and immunity; digestive system; urinary system; reproduction and life cycle. Hundreds of 3-D images take you through each of the body's systems and you'll discover how each functions.
Please note: Dorling Kindersly is not a Christian publisher, and there are (naturally) images of male and female body systems and a discussion of sexually transmitted infections. Overall, this is done tastefully with a focus on the structure and function of the human body. 320 pgs, pb. ~Amber
