The Human Machine by Richard Walker (Contains Affiliate Link)
We share our planet with an incredible range of life-millions of species
of animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms. Although we are the most
intelligent of all life-forms, we are, like other creatures, biological
machines that walk, feed, drink, and behave. And, in our case, talk,
create, think, and remember.
The Human Machine is a splendid and unique guide to the human body and
the way it works, a user's manual covering all aspects of the body's
activities, including troubleshooting and repairs. On each and every
page of this book you can discover everything you need to know and
understand about the body's huge range of operations. Like any manual,
The Human Machine is highly organized. Check out any aspect of the body
machine's workings and you will be presented with clear explanations of
what the body does and exactly how it does it. Every page is filled with
helpful color illustrations, engaging text, and sidebar boxes that
offer a wealth of information: True or False questions to test your
knowledge, Top Tips highlighting key information, Rival Products
comparing humans to other organisms, as well as Design Features,
Additional Data, Web Links, and more.
For all those who want to "look under the hood," The Human Machine
offers an innovative and accessible way to explore an incredibly complex
and sophisticated piece of engineering-the human body. Young readers
will have fun finding out about the body's operating and maintenance
systems, and all the key components that make this miraculous machine
work so well. (From Amazon.com product listing)
