Reviews

[Andrew Ives · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've read quite a few DK books, most of which are fairly lightweight and occasionally frivolous. This one, though smaller in page size, is rather a serious and weighty tome at 450 pages, covering all the general basics of the human body - skeleton, muscles, circulation - before moving on to more specific areas and illnesses. Immaculately proofread throughout, this is very well-written indeed, always accessible but never dumbed down. The diagrams are quite brilliantly coloured and labelled for maximum clarity while the few photographs are used in a graphic and helpful way. Necessarily, as the human body is such a complex organism, detail about each subject is brief, but equally the scope is huge. I wasn't especially interested in biology or medicine before, but even so, I found most of this book pretty fascinating. Everyone should own a copy. 5/5
