About this title

Synopsis

The Body in Time (Wiley Science Editions)

Reviews

Rose, popular science writer and author Classification of the Animal Kingdom , here provides an overview of the human body. By mixing basic explanations of the way our bodies work with anecdotes of historical and recent scientific discoveries and applications, Rose explores everyday events (e.g., a sneeze); reproduction; and the body's reaction to, for example, injury, drugs, the seasons, aging, and death (not for the squeamish). Although distracting fillers interrupt the text with inter- esting but unrelated information, most readers should find this a palatable introduction to the workings of the human body.
