THE HUMAN BODY: Uncovering Science
CHRIS HAWKES
How many kids know that the heart beats up to 10,000 times a day? Or that the brain operates on the same amount of energy as a 10-watt lightbulb? More young people will know those facts and many others after reading this richly illustrated book. Hawkes shows how the body's various systems and structures cooperate to produce a remarkable living machine. The large-format book looks inside the body with the help of detailed color images and descriptions of the workings of cells, the skeleton, skin and hair, the brain, the nervous system, and muscles. Hawkes also describes the body's sensory systems, chemical controls, production of energy from food, reproductive processes, and immune protections. It presents especially vivid illustrations of the brain, the digestive system, and a fetus. For ages 12 and up. Firefly, 2006, 52 p., color images, hardcover, $16.95.
