* Reviews *
Each book in this slightly revised series uses medically correct terms and gives a description of the body parts, organs, and fluids that are involved in the featured system. The anatomical and physiological information found in the first three chapters is easily available elsewhere. However, each title also contains a chapter on possible diseases, etc., plus another chapter that gives hints about how to keep the system healthy. Readers will enjoy "amazing but true" facts. Full-color anatomically accurate labeled diagrams complement the text. Libraries owning the original series do not need to purchase this. Bibliography. Glossary. Websites. Index.
