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.

Customers say
Customers find the book provides comprehensive and useful information about anatomy. They find the text easy to read and understand, with clear illustrations that help explain the basics. Many consider it a good value for the money. However, some readers find the print size too small and difficult to read. There are mixed opinions on the visual quality, with some finding the pictures detailed and accurate, while others feel the pictures cover two pages, making parts of the body obscured.
