From School Library Journal
Grade 5-10?This atlas contains full-color diagrams and explanations of the major body systems plus information about health and nutrition. The illustrations are clearly drawn and labeled; figures are cut away to show the inside layers. The reproductive system is comprehensively covered?several sequences show the growth and development of a fetus and the birth process, and there is an explanation of coitus with a cutaway picture of the penis in the vagina. How the body grows and changes is incorporated into the descriptions of the various systems. Analogies?some useful and some confusing?are used to help explain processes. Some of the pages are cluttered with miscellany and irrelevant information about excercise, how the body moves, costumes, and body mutilation. (An error?the text states that the Japanese practiced foot-binding). The Human Body (1991) and Steve Parker's The Body Atlas (1993, both Dorling Kindersley) also have clear, well-labeled diagrams. However, neither of those titles goes into the details of the reproductive process, the immune system, or health and nutrition.?Martha Gordon, formerly at South Salem Library, NY
