Purchase options and add-ons

Human Body is a concise guide to the structure, functions, and disorders of the body. Using full-color, highly detailed illustrations and clear, accessible language, this book is a fascinating introduction to how the body works and what may go wrong. The first part, Anatomy of the Human Body, begins with a medical atlas that shows how the parts of the body fit together. Each individual body system -- such as the skeletal and digestive systems -- is then fully illustrated and explained in detail. A compelling section on the human life cycle examines the changes in the body from conception to old age. In the second part of the book, Diseases and Disorders, some of the most common disorders are described and illustrated, system by system, with explanations of exactly what goes wrong and why. Medical conditions covered include infections, injuries, and cancer. Finally, there is a concise glossary of medical terms.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is not a full sized book.
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2015
Verified Purchase
Am I the only person surprised at how SMALL this book is?? Ok, I see now that the dimensions are listed under the Product Details. Admittedly I didn't look there. I glanced and saw that it was 448 pages and read the leading description, and EVERY OTHER BOOK of this nature that my son has ever checked out from the library has been a large, coffee table sized book. I was disappointed to receive something barely larger than a pocket book. I take full responsibility since it is in fact detailed online, however if this is an unusual size for this type of book, which it seems to be to me, I think it would be nice to mention that somewhere near the beginning of the description. It is still full of lots of great info and illustrations so I'll probably keep it for him, but I will need to get a second larger book to make this the Christmas present I intended it to be for my anatomy-obsessed 5 year old. :)
