Items related to Human Body (DK Revealed)
Synopsis
Start with a picture of a human head; read all about the outer surface of the brain beneath the skull and the protective fluid that encases it. Then, peel back the acetate page to reveal the same spread but with the next layer of brain tissue and central nervous system visible. This completely unique system of show-and-tell combines cutting-edge computerized photomontage and acetate technology with tried-and-true nonfiction subjects featuring material written, researched, and photographed by experts in each field.

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
