Synopsis
The "DK Revealed" series peels back the layers of its subjects by integrating striking images on acetate sheets with textual details and information. This text takes you into the heart and bones of the human body. Discover the fascinating story of how your brain communicates with your body, learn about the acid bath that forms inside your stomach when you smell food and much more. With in-depth information about each part of the human body, together with cross-sections, you'll be able to explore everything from how your blood clots to the almost magical properties of your skin.

From Booklist
Gr. 5-8. "In Your Head," "In Your Chest," "In Your Abdomen," "In Your Legs"--for the many kids who wonder what's "in" there, this book is just what they need. Heading off each section is a double-page-spread illustration of the highlighted area of the body, with an overlay allowing children to see how its various parts fit together. Then the usual DK format kicks in: cropped and cutaway photos (many highly magnified) and diagrams arranged in a seemingly random fashion across each themed double-page spread, accompanied by tightly worded captions explaining and expanding briefly on the content of the pictures. The section, "In Your Chest," for example, comprises spreads on the heart, the "bloodstream," and the lungs. There's a good deal of information here--in bits and snatches--and some of the magnified photos are extraordinary. But the pages often seem cluttered; perhaps that's because the Day-Glo colors of the tinted photos detract from subject matter, which doesn't need a lot of brilliant coloring to make it fascinating. Intriguing information for browsing to partner with more traditional books on the human body. Stephanie Zvirin
