Encyclopedia of the Human Body

Presented in signature DK style, Encyclopedia of the Human Body, edited by Richard Walker, offers a detailed look (via microscope and X-ray, too) at this most amazing creation, and includes the reproductive system (which is not included in From Head to Toe, above). ""Working Parts"" and ""Moving Framework"" (which covers the skeletal system, muscles and joints) are among the volume's seven sections. Later sections focus on nutrition, exercise and organ function. ""The Body Through Time"" considers human evolution, public health and modern medicine.
