This is a good book, typical of David Macaulay’s attention to detail and good graphics. We chose this book as part of a conversation on adult topics for its clinical and matter of fact answers. ( ) This is a book I would also love to have in my own collection because if offers direct and simple descriptions of biological processes that are constantly taking place on the microscopic level. It is a book with large images that all children would enjoy to conceptualize and to help make sense of these complex processes. I appreciate Macaulay's organization of topics and the imaginative illustrations which represent magnificent views into our own bodies. Macaulay takes readers on a journey through every system of the human body, accompanying researched text with amazingly accurate illustrations. Macaulay addresses both how and why questions about human bodies in this book, wording everything in an organized and easy to understand fashion. He goes into detail about specific part of the body, and how those parts help everything else function properly. David Macaulay takes the reader through a tour of the complex systems that make up the human body. He uses detailed drawings created with colored pencil and watercolor to explain what is going on within our our bodies during the functions we typically take for granted. Macaulay's illustrations magnify and explain in incredible detail; for example, he explains how the two different types of muscle fibers work in concert to contract and expand the pupils depending on light conditions. From the most basic molecules and cells to organs, and systems, this book provides a view within our bodies that is rarely afforded the layperson. *** NOTE: The book includes detailed illustrations of the human reproductive process which parents may find inappropriate for young children. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
