Sam's Exclusive - The Human Body Book, Hardcover

DK's The Human Body Book is the essential comprehensive guide to every aspect of the body's anatomy and function. Featuring unique 3-D images and graphics, this indispensable book reveals the complexity of the human body in its structure, functions, and disorders. Breathtaking annotated overviews take the reader through each of the body's systems from the skeleton to the skin, hair, and nails. Layer by layer, each system is stripped away, with every component, from cell to organ, detailed and explained.

The Human Body Book reveals how every aspect of the body functions—for example, how the heart beats, how we breathe, how we see, hear, and feel, and how the body defends itself. Intricate internal processes, invisible to the naked eye, such as the transmission of a nerve impulse, are brought to life with incredible artworks. Readers can also find out what can go wrong with the body, with more than 200 common diseases and disorders illustrated and described in detail. This incisive book is comprehensive for biology students and healthcare professionals, while also clear and easy-to-understand for home and family reference. Plus this exclusive edition comes with a revealing die-cut cover that displays the layers beneath our skin, and a poster detailing the body's bones and muscles.
