Editorial Review:
Human Body is a concise guide to the structure, functions, and disorders of the body. Using full-color, highly detailed illustrations and clear, accessible language, this book is a fascinating introduction to how the body works and what may go wrong. The first part, Anatomy of the Human Body, begins with a medical atlas that shows how the parts of the body fit together. Each individual body system -- such as the skeletal and digestive systems -- is then fully illustrated and explained in detail. A compelling section on the human life cycle examines the changes in the body from conception to old age. In the second part of the book, Diseases and Disorders, some of the most common disorders are described and illustrated, system by system, with explanations of exactly what goes wrong and why. Medical conditions covered include infections, injuries, and cancer. Finally, there is a concise glossary of medical terms.

Rating:  - a terrific supplement text
i love this book... used it for medical terminology class as well as physiology and anatomy.. great book... very well designed, ..you can easily and quickly find the subject matter you are looking for. It doesn't replace a full on anatomy textbook like Martini, but it is a great supplement.
Rating:  - Human Body
The book is excellent for anyone who wants to learn the body systems and how they work. Very detailed illustrations make that easy and the language is simple enough for a novice. The only disappointment was the size of the book. I was hoping to get the coffee table size I saw in my chiropractor's office and instead got a very thick, heavy 5 x 7 size.
Rating: - Very detailed and concise book!
I truly love this book. It's small enough to take anywhere and it has all the information that one could need on the spot.
Rating: - Neat!
I bought this for a friend who loves things like this, but before I sent it off to him I took a look at it myself. I thought this was the perfect book for anybody that really wants details about what goes on inside ourselves. It has great full color diagrams and tons of information. A great pick!
Rating: - Wonderful small size atlas
Great book. For those who are just interested in anatomy will be perfect and should be enough, but medical students would rather use it as a wonderfully colored and easy to read supplement. It's small size, you can keep it in your purse and read anywhere. The best value of that book are colored photos and illustrations with detailed explanations that everybody will undurstand. I personally loved it.
