The Concise Human Body Book: An illustrated guide to its structure, function and disorders

Description:

Discover all there is to know about human anatomy in DK's latest concise visual guide to the human body. Fully updated to reflect the latest medical information, The Concise Human Body Book is illustrated throughout with colourful and comprehensive diagrams, photographs, scans, and 3D artworks, which take you right into the cells and fibres that are responsible for keeping your body ticking.

The Concise Human Body Book provides full coverage of the body, function by function, system by system. In the opening chapter, colourful medical scans, illustrations, and easy-to-understand diagrams show you how the different parts of the body work together to produce a living whole. Eleven main body systems - including the skeletal system, cardiovascular system, and respiratory system - are then covered in intricate detail in the following chapters, with each section ending on common diseases and disorders that can affect that system.

From bones and muscles to systems and processes, this in-depth, pocket-sized guide to the body's physical structure, chemical workings, and potential problems is the must-have reference manual for trainee medical professionals, students, or anyone interested in finding out more about how the human body works.

I purchased this book as it is a requirement for a course which I am due to commence and one of the subjects I have to study is anatomy and physiology. It is very easy to understand, very well illustrated and I have found members of my family absorbed in its pages. It would, in my opinion, be an excellent study aid for young people and those studying biology etc. My favourite book so far as to finding out just how the human body works.

Back in 2001 Dorling Kindersley produced an excellent little book, Human Body: An Illustrated Guide To Every Part Of The Human Body And How It Works , a tad smaller than this 'The Concise Human Body' Book but 448 pages as opposed to the 320 of this. Both edited by Ann Baggaley, both Dorling Kindersley publications. I can only assume that this equally beautifully illustrated, but somewhat glossier, is regarded as the successor to the sadly out of print 2001.Personally, I feel VERY sad that the earlier book is no longer available outside 'used' at a reasonable price. Had I not been in possession of the earlier book, I might have 5 starred this, it is indeed visually stunning (a hallmark of DKs house style) but the text is less clearly written and to some extent illustrations a little less clear - the earlier book imaginatively colours the various small bones in the hand and foot for example (like Netter, using colour to help imprint memory) And the earlier book flows better in the writing. This is a little drier.It IS an excellent 'adjunct' book to a more intensive AP + P book (such as Tortorra) for students needing greater depth than these 'Introduction' books can provide, but it is not quite as brilliantly clear in its visuals and its descriptions as the earlier one. I would continue to recommend the 2001 book over this one as an AP + P Primer text to help unpick the depth books - as long as a reasonably priced, not too dreadfully mishandled copy exists.

5.0 out of 5 stars The highly visual layout makes it very easy to grasp otherwise complex processes and biological structures

V.A.K. · 20 January 2017

This book is a marvel - I have not put it down! The highly visual layout makes it very easy to grasp otherwise complex processes and biological structures. Well thought out and very well written - very easy to understand for little old me. The book is conveniently small in size also. The perfect reference media. Delivery was prompt and hassle-free. Very worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful for a curious mind

I normally read thriller books and only that. Recently I’ve broadened my reading pallet and decided to learn more.This book was extremely insightful and is a brilliant reference tool to go back to. Well priced as well which is always a bonus.

Y.P. · 10 July 2016

This is a nice starter book into the world of anatomy. I'd say good for teenagers. Clearly illustrated and the information is well displayed. It is easy enough to understand even without a background of knowledge in human biology. It has good depth in terms of how the different anatomical systems work. I had it with me during my travels and its a good size as well and holds well under strenuous circumstances (weather, different bags).
