EyeWitness: Human Body written by Richard Walker focuses on how everyone’s bodies functions from the inside. It covers many subjects including: the myth, magic, and medicine behind the human body, bones, muscles, nervous system, the brain, blood, eating, history,and what to expect in the future. The information is provided through text, charts, photos, and graphics that involve the reader with the human body in an interactive way. This children’s book is a perfect summary of the human body and scientific knowledge.

One literary element that is apparent in this book is the scientific point of view because the point of this book is to inform the reader about things they do not know about the body. The major feature that stands out in this book however is not the text, while important, the photos are what add further understanding and visualization of the text for the reader to fully conceptualize all the ideas. This book is wonderful broad overview of the human body for kids to learn about and reference. The pictures are my favorite part of this book.

Advances the idea that the elderly are unproductive and a drain on society. The elderly can teach those who are wise enough to listen and heed. The elderly volunteer at nonprofits while the younger adults are working. They are very important to our economy, at the very least.
