Rebecca Saba _eckydesign_anifesto — The Complete Human Body is "the definitive visual guide to our anatomy, physiology, development and disorders". Using computer generated illustrations, modern technology and the latest medical research, it presents the information in a large format for easy viewing. It's divided into several sections: Integrated Body, Anatomy, How the Body Works, Life Cycle, and Diseases and Disorders. I love this book. Simply beautiful! It's filled with large well labelled, spectacular illustrations, MRI scans, CT scans and numerous photographs along with fascinating information on the human body. "How the Body Works" section is particularly fascinating. It shows how the lungs work, how the heart works, the function of body hair, how bones grow, how we see and much more. It's really amazing. My favourite part of the book is the section on anatomy. It takes up a good portion of the book. The illustrations in this part of the book are absolutely stunning. The section first explains the body systems (skeletal, muscular, digestive, endocrine, etc) in great detail and then splits the body into 7 sections from top to bottom. Each section is then explored through the systems within it. For example: The head and neck contains the following systems: skeletal, muscular, nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular, lymphatic and immune, digestive, endocrine; whereas the lower arm and hand contain: skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular. Some of the illustrations/photographs are larger than life which allows you to get a really good look at the subject. The book is filled with interesting facts about the human body. Here are some of my favourites: • 17,000 - the average number of times the human eye blinks each day • 8.8 pounds - the weight of the skin of an average adult • 75 trillion - the total number of cells that make up the average human body • 10 - the number of seconds it takes food to travel from the mouth to the stomach • An adult heart pumps an average of 15,200 pints of blood around the body every day. • Roughly half the genes found in humans are also found in bananas. The table of contents in the book is nicely laid out, but it's pretty basic (a list of sections; no explanations). Still, it's good enough to find the major items or sections. The glossary is really good and offers descriptions for plenty of terms used in the book. The index is extensive. At over 20 pages, it's the longest one I've seen in this type of book. I easily found all of the items I was looking for. The interactive CD allows the users to view many of the anatomy photographs on their computer. Once a section is selected, the user can move the cursor over a label (such as Femoral Artery in the Upper Leg) upon which an arrow appears and points to that item. It's really well done. In addition, there's a user controlled Head to Toe Body Scan, which allows the user to look at particular areas of interest. Awesome! There's also a couple of annotated MRIs that are quite interesting. My one complaint is that the book is quite heavy and a little hard to hang on to for long reading sessions. I really don't want to give up the book's generous size, which allows for large photographs, so I guess I'll have to prop it up or use a table to hold the book. Can someone just invent/make lighter paper that's still affordable and durable? Highly recommended. This will be my new reference go-to book for all things related to the human body.

Piet Bossuyt bossuytbru5f6a — Fascinating look at the origin of epidemic behaviour. The reasons made sense and I really enjoyed his views on mavens, connectors, and salesmen. Great book!

Gsdkgsp Noxcm mcos26s — didn't enjoy it all that much. sorry meish. i generally enjoy boks that weave together a number of seemingly unrelated stories, but here, i didn't find any one of the stories all that interesting.

Robert Schroeder schroederusmc — Sophie lives in Tuscon, close enough to the border with Mexico that it's not uncommon for illegal immigrants to pass through her house in their search for freedom. One night her family takes in a five-year-old boy, Pedro, whose parents died crossing the desert in search of a new life. Only Pedro survived from his party of immigrants and he is left mute and sad-eyed. Sophie slowly coaxes Pedro out of his silence and eventually he reveals his name, his age and where his family came from. When Sophie's family contacts Pedro's relatives it leads to an extended road trip to return Pedro home to Mexico. It's hard to describe this book. A coming of age story, certainly, but it feels like something more. The story is simple at times and there's not a lot of action or drama and yet the characters creep into your heart and stay firmly lodged there. I thoroughly enjoyed this book even though it has a much slower pace than my usual fare. Sophie is engaging and sympathetic. This story makes you think about the broader issues of illegal immigration and puts a face on those trying so desperately to find a new life. It is beautifully written and well worth checking out.
