I am just amazed by the pictures in this book. I find it awesome to see the components of the body in minute detail. The book is also an anatomy lesson. The pictures are wonderful and it takes you on a microscopic tour of your insides. Highly recommended.
This is a look at our inner body like nothing I've never seen. Truly amazing. It is a beautiful book &yes, it's on my coffe table. Really worth The price, which was reasonable, considering the wonderous tour we were given. Loved it !!!
The value in this book is not so much the pictures, which are good to very good but not always the best; rather it is in the broad survey of body cells and tissues. I think a lot of people could benefit from getting this systematic overview.
This book is very accessible. As a teacher it makes a great addition to the classroom.
This is an excellent book for beginners and experienced EMTs. Everyone should get a copy to learn more about their own body.
This book should be a "must read" for students every where. It's a excellent piece of information pertaining to our bodies.
Full of really fascinating close ups of human structure. Great for both adults and kids.
Book came in good condition and shipped relatively quick. Very happy that I made this purchase, content is very interesting and pictures are awesome.
