Reviews

Grade 5-7-- Although at first glance these seem like just another entry in the current wave of human body books, this series warrants closer examination. Each volume covers a variety of topics, all in double-page spreads, beginning with a historical perspective, then continuing through the parts and functions of the system. Follow-up sections include disorders, illnesses and treatment, plus current research, medical practices, and personal care. Unique to The Brain is a section called "Did You Know," a collection of interesting facts and trivia. Each spread is approximately one-third text, two-thirds full-color illustrations. Photographs are clear, sharp, and generally relevant to the text, while diagrams are basic but informative. The text is brief but well written, easily understood although sometimes a bit simplistic. Technical terms are highlighted and defined within the text. Those who own Brian Ward's "The Human Body" series (Watts) will find these useful complements, mainly for the historical and current information, and for the better illustrations. --Denise L.
