The Human Body Book
£12.90£19.00 (-32%)
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.

I bought this book as I wanted to use it in conjunction with my other reference books, to learn more about the body and diseases. I’m glad I bought it, it’s set up in a brilliant way! The colours, pictures and illustrations are clear and amazing! It is all so easy to read and understand! The index is so useful in helping find the exact info you are looking for!
I cannot fault this book in any way!! 🙂

Ideal for any students needing to learn parts of the body in depth in different subjects . Currently being used for references in A level PE and health and social subjects after a teacher lent my daughter his book to help her as she could grasp part of the structure .this book helped so we purchased it for her .

I am very impressed with the detailed level of knowledge in this book. Beautiful graphs with very point descriptions. I would recommend it to anyone interested in “their body”, but also for a great help for biology and science classes for teenager and adult students

I wanted a book on the human body for reference purposes. This book is certainly fit for purpose, it’s easy to understand with very good information and diagrams. Some of the print is a bit on the small size, but shouldn’t be to much of a problem if you have glasses.

This book is an amazing and super useful for either personal or academic life. Very detailed and cover everything you need to know about the human body. The quality of the paper and images are outstanding. It comes with a cheap price but high quality. The cover of this book is solid so you don’t need anything to protect the book. Related images in each page help you to understand and get the point(s) better and easier.
