More and more people are conscious about understanding and improving their health. An essential part of this process is learning the basic anatomy and physiology of the human body, but technical medical texts are impenetrable to most readers.

This colorful handbook clearly explains biological processes and systems such as: - Skeletal and muscular systems - Nervous system - Glands and hormones - Cardiovascular system, tissues and organs - Immune system - Respiratory system - Digestive and urinary system - Reproductive system

There is also a concise A-Z medical encyclopedia that describes and explains over 600 medical conditions and terms. With 250 color diagrams, Guide to the Human Body is an outstanding pocket-sized reference book.
