Synopsis
This graphic nonfiction book introduces the nervous system of the human body. The Building Blocks of Life Science volumes feature whimsical characters to guide young readers through topics exploring the human body systems. Full-page or full-spread diagrams detail the different parts of each body system. The science is as sound as the presentation is fun! The volumes include a glossary, an additional resource list, and an index. Several spreads in each volume are illustrated with photographs to help clarify concepts and facts.

Review
"'As a brave, unflinching look at mental illness, Nervous System is revelatory; as a candid, conflicted view of the creative process, it is a revelation.' Vancouver Sun 'A weird and brilliant memoir... Jensen's writing is smooth and elegant, his narrative suspenseful, his sensibility witty... he delivers a smart and sympathetic narrator - himself - whose personal adventure, as terrifying as any in the thriller rack at the drug store, captures the catastrophes of the present, the ones lurking much closer to home.' Toronto Star 'Nervous System is not just a compelling memoir, it's an important one. Mental illness manages to be both glamorized and stigmatized in our culture. What is often missed is what Jensen shows us convincingly: the moment-to-moment unhappiness of losing your mind... Both harrowingly authentic and poignantly understated. This is, if we're lucky, as close as most of us will get to going really crazy.' National Post 'Candid, merciless, funny, horrific, insightful - often all at once.' Locus"
