World Book's Human Body Works - Hardcover

Rezensionen

Grade 5–8—In typical World Book fashion, these slim volumes, each corresponding to one of the human body's pivotal systems, are clearly written and contain high-quality color photographs (some of which are more useful than others) and outstanding, bright diagrams. Subtopics follow a logical progression with particular emphasis placed on adolescent development and concerns. Overviews are in clear prose and are supported by detailed anatomical illustrations, descriptions of organs and processes involved, and a highlighted FAQ inset, such as "What is PMS?" followed by an appropriate answer. Anatomical and medical terms ("scrotum," "cellular respiration," etc.) are defined both in context and in the glossary. The books succeed in their descriptive and informative purpose with color and flair. Depending on the needs of the library, these self-contained volumes can be circulated individually or held for reference. Terrific additions.—Mary R. Hofmann, Rivera Middle School, Merced, CA
