Welcome to the Museum
Anatomicum
Debajo de nuestra piel se encuentra una máquina viva compuesta de cientos y miles de partes, que trabajan juntas para hacernos ser quienes somos. ¿Te has preguntado alguna vez qué aspecto tiene el interior de tu cuerpo? Imagínate que pudieras verlo de dentro afuera. Entonces podrías contemplar cómo te late el corazón, ver cómo crecen tus propias células o señalar la parte exacta de tu cerebro donde se está formando una idea. Todo esto puedes hacerlo ahora, en las páginas de Anatomicum. Abierto las veinticuatro horas del día, siete días a la semana, este museo es único y no se parece a nada que hayas visto antes. A medida que recorras sus pasillos y sus salas, serás transportado directamente a las distintas partes del cuerpo humano, y podrás examinarlo con un insólito grado de detalle.

Господи, тази поредица ще ме довърши, чисто съвършенство е.

Cilvēka anatomijas enciklopēdija veidota no sešām lielām daļām - Muskuļu un skeleta sistēma; Asinsrites un elpošanas orgānu sistēmas, Gremošanas orgānu sistēmas; Nervu sistēma; Imūnsistēma un limfātiskā sistēma, kā arī Iekšējās sekrēcijas dziedzeru un dzimumorgānu sistēmas. Ļoti reālistiskas ilustrācijas, kas piesaista gan ar estētisko skaistumu, gan precizitāti. Protams, šī nav medicīnas enciklopēdija medicīnas studentiem, bet kā populārzinātnisks sējums ļoti izdevies un noderīgs! Pētām arī bērnu nu jau no trīs gadu vecuma un turpinām četru gadu vecumā.

Richie’s Picks: ANATOMICUM (Welcome to the Museum series) by Jennifer Z. Paxton and Katy Wiedemann, ill., Candlewick/Big Picture Press, September 2019, 112p., ISBN: 978-1-5362-1506-9
“What rushes into my heart and my skull
I can’t control
Think about it
Feel it in my bones”
-- Tiësto (featuring Tegan and Sara) (2009)
ANATOMICUM is a comprehensive yet easily-understood introduction to human anatomy. It’s also a masterpiece! The author is a university lecturer in anatomy. The illustrator is a heralded tattoo artist. This combining of talents has produced a jaw-droppingly beautiful introduction to our blood, bones, and guts.
Author Jennifer Z. Paxton, who teaches science and medical students, has a knack for explaining bodily processes in terms that middle graders will readily grasp:
“Key to plate
1: Pivot joint
In pivot joints, one bone rotates around another. A good example is the joint between the atlas and the axis in the vertebral column. It is used to turn the head side to side.
2: Ball-and-socket joint
This joint gets its name from the ‘ball’ of one bone, usually a long bone, fitting into a corresponding ‘socket’ on the adjoining bone. It allows movements in lots of different directions (bending, rotation, etc.) Some examples are the shoulder and hip joints.
3: Hinge joint
Hinge joints allow movement in one direction only and act just like the hinges on doors to allow bending but not rotation. Major hinge joints of the body are at the elbows, knees, and ankle joints.
4. Condyloid joint
These are found where one bone is rounded and fits into a shallow depression on its neighboring bone. Condyloid joints, also known as ellipsoidal joints, allow movements in many directions, such as the movements of the wrist.
5.Saddle joint
Resembling a saddle on top of another bone, these joints allow side-to-side and bending movement, but no rotation. They include the joint between the carpals and metacarpals of the thumb.
6. Planar joint
Also called gliding joints, these occur where bones lie flat against each other. They allow bones to slide from side to side or up and down. Planar joints are found between the bones to the wrist and ankle regions.”
ANATOMICUM is well-organized. Everything makes sense. The book is divided into six galleries plus a library. The galleries consist of:
The Musculoskeletal System
The Cardiovascular & Respiratory Systems
The Digestive & Urinary Systems
The Nervous System & Special Senses
The Immune & Lymphatic Systems
The Endocrine & Reproductive Systems
Within each gallery are page after page of illustrated body parts. Rendered in ink and watercolor, all of the parts of the parts are numbered and identified in the accompanying “keys” to the plates. Each gallery also contains an index and a fact-filled, multi-paragraph introduction to that part of our body. The oversized book is printed on heavy art paper, and made to endure a lot of use.
ANATOMICUM is a unique, stunning, coffee table reference book for young people about the structure and functioning of our bodies. Parents will be wise to check it out, too. I just learned (or re-learned) so many details of what makes me tick.
“The back of the eye, known as the retina, is lined with millions of light-detecting sensory cells. These translate light messages into electrical signals for the brain to receive. About seven million of these cells are a type called cones, which detect colors but are unable to function well in low light. The other 100 million cells are called rods. These are much more sensitive to light, so they work well in low light, though they do not detect color. This is why scenes appear to be black-and-white at nighttime. Once the rods and cones have received information, it is transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve at the back of each eye. Incredibly, this whole process happens in a fraction of a second, and it is thought that the human eye can process nearly one thousand frames, or images, per second.”
However you look at it, this is a unique and informative piece of nonfiction artistry you don’t want to miss. And it will make a fabulous gift.

There are inviting pages of information and realistic illustrations created for furthering the explanations of the human body, all making one want to know more.
Paxton's book, as written, (Welcome To The Museum) - Every page is like Anatomy 101, or an advanced class! Take this museum tour of a body's seven systems, amazing with its arrangement and structure. Each part has a page of explanation and detailed colored illustrations. An index is helpful and endpapers are filled with human bodies showing the various systems.
Thanks to Candlewick Press for this copy!

Informative, but very simple
December 28, 2020
This book is “curated” by an anatomy professor and an illustrator/tattoo artist, and it is visually stunning. Like others in the Welcome to the Museum series, it is very large, lavishly illustrated and suitable both for learning and browsing.
The ink and watercolor drawings bring to mind old anatomy texts in black and white with miniscule labels. The style of drawing is similar in detail, but uses a palette of muted colors, with cross sections of bodies that resemble living statuary. The drawings occupy half of each page opening, inviting easier viewing. Endpapers and chapter divisions have repeated patterns of different body elements that are close to a gorgeous kind of anatomical wallpaper! Text explains the function and relationships of that system with other body systems, and describes each plate’s numbered body parts in a key. The book is nicely organized by system – musculoskeletal; cardiovascular and respiratory; digestive and urinary; nervous and senses; immune and lymphatic; and endocrine and reproductive.
One detail I really liked was a spread on the types of joints in the body. Along with a skeleton with specific joints described, the spread also shows related joints of a non-anatomical nature used in building and mechanics.
With a table of contents and an index, this beautifully designed book would be a great resource for anyone wishing an easily navigable directory of human anatomy.
Here are some criticisms: Most of the anatomical illustrations are views of inside the body; however, of the exterior views, all are of white people. Wouldn’t it have been easy to include some people of color? Secondly, the human appendix, that annoying little tubelet with no known function, is pictured but not named. That was the first thing I looked for when I got the book! It does not appear in the index.

Stop what you are doing right now and get this book. I mean it! I cannot put it down! This is hands down one of the best STEAM books I have seen; I only wish it had been made 15 years ago so I could buy it for my son when he was young. But no bother….he loves it now (he’s 19!). This is a pictural trip through the human body from the outside to deep inside. It shows how a human works and has just the right amount of detail to be thorough but not overwhelming. The illustrations are gorgeously detailed and offer a peek into the wonderful world right inside our own beings. Every time I open to a new page, I am drawn into a whole new system and I can freely explore the human body in a way I have never been able to do so before! Love it!

Fein detaillierte, künstlerische Illustrationen, gestaltet mit einem gut verständlichen Text geben einen Einblick in das Innere des menschlichen Körpers. Vom Skelett über die Muskeln, die unseren Körper aufrecht halten, den inneren Organen, bis hin zum Gehirn mit seinen präzisen Funktionen, dem Herz-Kreislauf-System, dem Atemapparat sowie dem Verdauungssystem. Das zentrale Nervensystem offenbart sich grafisch mit all seinen Feinheiten. Immunsystem, Hormone und Fortpflanzungsorgane sind trotz ihrer Komplexität ganz klar und verständlich erklärt.
Den großformatigen Band könnte man als Anatomie-Atlas bezeichnen. Die prächtigen Bilder von Katy Wiedemann sind ästhetisch schön, dennoch wissenschaftlich detailliert in sepiafarbenen Illustrationen dargestellt. In einer kurzen Einführung wird erklärt, dass wir den menschlichen Körper in elf Systeme einteilen, die vom zentralen Kontrollzentrum des Gehirns gesteuert werden. Nach diesen Systemen ist das Sachbuch in sechs Säle eingeteilt. Wie bei einem richtigen Museumsbesuch betreten wir zuerst den Saal des Muskel- und Skelettsystems. Nach einer Gesamteinführung kommen wir zum Thema Knochen, wo ganz kurz das Knochenmark mit Blutgefäßen und Nerven angerissen ist. Weiter geht es zu Schädel, Gelenken, Bindegewebe, Muskelsystem und -Gewebe, Handmuskulatur, Gesichtsmuskulatur. Zu jeder großflächigen Illustration auf der rechten Seite erklärt links ein gut verständlicher Text (halbseitig) das Unterthema, darunter befindet sich eine Bildlegende zu den Ziffern, mit denen die Illustration rechts beschriftet ist. Bei den Gesichtsmuskeln z.B. wird erklärt, wie ein Lächeln und Traurigkeit auf dem Gesicht sichtbar werden.
Weiter geht es zum Herz-Kreislauf und Atmungssystem. Die Funktion von Herz, Lunge, Atemwege und Blutkreislauf werden erklärt. Die Verdauung und das Harnsystem, Nervensystem und Sinnesorgane, Immun- und Lymphsystem sowie Hormon- und Fortpflanzungssystem sind die weiteren Säle. Das großformatige Sachbilderbuch eignet sich ab dem Grundschulalter zur Erklärung des menschlichen Körpers. Besonders hat mir die Ästhetik gefallen, aber auch die einfach gefassten Texte, die die Grundzüge erklären. Manche umgangssprachliche Ausdrücke werden mit Fachbegriffen unterfüttert. Das Buch gehört zu der Serie «Eintritt frei». Uns hatte bereits «Das Museum des Meeres» begeistert. Der Prestel Verlag gibt eine Altersempfehlung ab 8 Jahren, das passt. Interessant auch für ältere Kinder. Empfehlung!
Jennifer Z. Paxton ist Dozentin für Anatomie an der Universität Edinburgh und Leiterin des Paxton Lab. 2013 und 2018 hat sie den Wellcome Trust-Wettbewerb «I’m a Scientist» gewonnen. Sie liebt es, die Welt der Anatomie einem breiteren Publikum näher zu bringen und mit Grundschulen zusammenzuarbeiten, um auch immer mehr Kinder für das Thema zu begeistern.

Dieses bebilderte Sachbuch entführt uns in die faszinierende Welt unseres menschlichen Körpers. Mit einer Kombination aus schönen Illustrationen und leicht verständlichen Texten ermöglicht es in die Anatomie einzutauchen. Katy Wiedemann, Illustratorin in diesem Buch, hat mit ihren fein detaillierten Zeichnungen einen tollen Zugang geschaffen, der nicht nur ästhetisch ansprechend ist, sondern auch wissenschaftlich präzise erscheint.
Das Buch führt durch alle Systeme unseres Körpers. Wir beginnen mit dem Muskel- und Skelettsystem, tauchen dann ein in die faszinierende Welt unserer inneren Organe, dann das Gehirn mit all seinen Funktionsweisen, in das Herz-Kreislauf-System, den Atemapparat sowie das Verdauungssystem. Auch komplexe Themen wie das zentrale Nervensystem, das Immunsystem, die Hormone und Fortpflanzungsorgane werden klar und verständlich erklärt.
Jede Doppelseite bietet eine große Illustration und ist begleitet von einem gut verständlichen Text. Jede Abbildung ist mit Ziffern bespickt, die in einer Legende gut erläutert werden.
Der Autorin gelingt es, meiner Ansicht nach, das komplexe Thema unseres Körpers mit Leichtigkeit in Grundzügen zu vermitteln – ist es jedoch kein „klassischer“ Anatomie-Atlas. Das Buch eignet sich für Leser*innen jeden Alters; sicherlich auch ab 8 Jahren (wie es empfohlen ist), jedoch könnte ich mir vorstellen, dass die eine oder andere Textstelle für die Kids doch zu medizinisch erklärt ist. Was mir persönlich noch besonders gut gefiel waren die Ansichten der Organe im Querschnitt, quasi so, wie man als Laie ein Organ eigentlich nie „zu Gesicht bekommt“.
Schon immens, was unser Körper täglich so leistet und wir sehen das als normal an. Vermutlich sollten wir alle ein bisschen mehr auf unseren Körper hören und noch viel besser auf ihn achten! Denn wenn er nicht mehr rund läuft, geht die Reise ins Unbekannte erst richtig los!

This is a beautifully and accurately illustrated volume which older children may learn details of the human body. I think it is designed for the middle school age child and has limited, but adequate, text about each of the body's parts. The full body is display as well as intricately drawn smaller sections such as hands, skin, nerves, organs, etc.
For parents information I will mention that the human body is fully shown as well as internal arrangement body parts.
As with each of the "Welcome to the Museum" series books, this is a large format book, is highly informative, of lasting value for the home, school, or public library. My suggested age range: Grades 3-9.
Major seller ranks as of Feb. 2023:
#4 in Medical Atlases (Books)
#58 in Children's Anatomy Books
#304 in Basic Medical Sciences
I received a complimentary copy to facilitate a review. Opinions are mine, alone and are freely given.

A fascinating book that takes readers on an intricate tour of the human body and how it functions. The book highlights in detail the seven body systems: Musculoskeletal, Cardio and Respiratory, Digestive and Urinary, Nervous System and Special Senses, Immune and Lymphatic System and Endocrine and Reproductive Systems.
The illustrations are fantastic - detailed, numbered and titled. I was so impressed at the work involved in creating illustrations and the quality paper used and design combo to make this a book feel almost like a vintage work of art. The target grade range for this book is Grades 2-5.

I love human anatomy and physiology (I used to teach A&P lab), so I welcome a chance to review/refresh my familiarity with the amazing feat that is our body. This book is a solid overview, not too detailed and digestible descriptions. The illustrations were good, but sometimes I wanted structures labeled that weren't, or I found the items included a little irrelevant (all the leukocytes kinda look the same. Instead maybe show how the immune system uses proteins to flag cells for destruction?) I didn't really see that it contained a new approach, so I was scratching my head about the value added over other A&P introductions. But if you don't have one, this is as good a place to start as any.

This Museum series are always intricately illustrated in ways that boggle the mind. Yes they're oversized but that's why they're so special and the gilded cover makes them more special.
In this one, the break down of the human body is on full display-- each of the eleven systems with illustrations, explanations, and brief paragraphs for each body system and/or organ. I can't wait to read another one and I can see this being both an amazing coffee table book but also a great gift for others.

This oversized book forms a great introduction to Anatomy. Honestly my big complaint is that male & female nudes were depicted when it was not necessary to the system or part of the body being discussed. Given that this is supposed to be a children's book my husband and I were both disappointed in this choice. Other than that aspect, the illustrations are lovely, Vintage in feel, and almost steampunk at times. Really lovely.

Excellent ouvrage sur le corps humain, très riche en informations (à l'exception de la partie sur les systèmes génitaux et la reproduction, avec son vocabulaire essentialiste et hétéronormatif). Les planches sont magnifiques (en dépit du manque de diversité pour les représentations d'individu•es lors des vus d'ensemble). Le contenu est assez dense, je le recommanderais pas pour un trop jeune public.

Hace no mucho me obsesioné con el cuerpo humano y me compré este libro que justo abrí hoy, me parece lindísimo y con un chorro de datos que por supuesto no sabía
Las ilustraciones son una belleza … me parece que es parte de una serie y pueden encontrar de animales, etc.

This book is part of the Welcome to the Museum series, which I love. The plates in this book are anatomically correct but Victorian in style. I love the body models with their fancy hair and twirly mustaches. Recommended.

As with other books in this series, it is beautifully illustrated. The information in the book only lightly touches on each area of the body, but what is mentioned is interesting. The high reading level, topic, and some illustrations make this best for high school.

,,Anatomicum”- Katy Wiedemann, Jennifer Z.Paxton🧬
Oto anatomia człowieka w pigułce! W książce zawarte są najważniejsze informacje o budowie naszego ciała, jak i przepiękne ilustracje wspaniale oddające poszczególne narządy, komórki, tkanki. W środku znajdziemy krótki opis każdego z układu człowieka oraz niezbędne fakty pomagające zrozumieć Nam, jak jesteśmy zbudowani.
,, Dowiecie się, ile krwi na dobę przepływa przez tętnice i żyły, co trzyma zęby na miejscu, dzięki czemu możemy robić miny, jak powstaje głos i co ucho ma wspólnego z równowagą. Prześledzicie przebieg ciąży i dojrzewania, odkryjecie, jak działają mózg, żołądek i serce.”- opis od wydawcy
,,Anatomicum” to wspaniała przygoda, pełna kolorów, nowej wiedzy i zrozumienia budowy ciała organizmu, jakim jesteśmy. Moim zdaniem pozycja ta zainteresuje każdego, kto chciałby zacząć uczyć się o anatomii ludzkiego ciała. Wydanie jest przepiękne, co jeszcze bardziej pomaga w przyswajaniu wiedzy. Wszystko jest czytelne i napisane potocznym językiem, przez co nikt nie powinien mieć z tym problemu! Uważam, że książka idealnie nada się jako prezent pod choinkę lub upominek bez okazji:)

I added this book to my kid's human body unit kinda last minute. I thought it would be more of a curiosity than a useful reference. It's actually been at least as helpful as the other two spine books we're using for this unit. And, of course, the illustrations are gorgeous.

Beautiful illustrations, very informative.
Great book for the classroom and research.
Be careful because very detailed anatomical drawings.

In clear, simple prose and illustrated with numerous well-drawn illustrations, Paxton gives us a round-the-human-body tour. I learned a lot, and enjoyed it thoroughly!
