If you've heard of a part of the human anatomy & don't know where it is or how it works, then this is the dictionary for you! It is packed with superb full-color artworks, photos & clear language giving a unique insight into our bodies.

What is Carpel Tunnel Syndrome & where does it happen? What are hormones, how do they work & do what they do? How do we run & jump - what makes our arms bend?

Some pages in this dictionary are breathtaking - awesome to see of what we're made - all the systems: digestive, urinary & reproductive; respiratory; lymphatic; circulatory; endocrinal & nervous. Certainly makes the old science lab vivisection of frogs totally obsolete!

What a piece of work is man - as Shakespeare penned six centuries ago - fascinating to see it all laid out. I looked hard for any offensive material. Unless it's against your religion to observe the human body more naked than ever dreamed of, the information given far outweighs modesty.

You could have The Visual Dictionary of Human Anatomy casually lying around in the den, on the coffee table or in the bathroom & begin to learn alongside your youngsters as their curiosity grows.
