BOOK REVIEW: The Human Body by Steve Parker
All of us have amazing bodies, a vessel for our soul to reside in, enabling us to carry out so many different tasks with ease. But do we all really know what is in it or how it works or maybe even how it looks like? This amazing book shows the detailed structure inside the human body as never seen before.
Although medical professionals have used dissection for several hundred years, new techniques help them to reveal what lies under our skin in meticulous detail. Tomographic techniques have been used with magnetic resonance scanning to produce the many visuals that you will come across in this book. Some pictures in this book are drawings of what is seen down a microscope.
The combination of microscopic anatomy and three-dimensional images is highly instructive, and this book allows readers to more than glimpse at the unique wonders inside the body. It will appeal not only to adults and young people, who are just interested in how the body works, but also to those, like nurses or physiotherapists, for whom it has more professional relevance.
Since I took up a Diploma in Human Anatomy and Physiology, this book has been of immense help with its clear explanations and eye-catching visuals. Learning biology has never been more fun with the presence of this book. Pop into a Book Xcess outlet and you may be able to get your hands on a copy of this book which comes as a set of two with a coloring book dedicated to, you guessed it, the human body.
