Horn Book Review

The presentation of a huge amount of material (two physiologic systems and their ailments, treatments, and growth; exercise; and even evolutionary theory) results in scattershot information contained in double-page spreads crowded with text, cartoonlike art, and a few color photos. Boxes feature related myths, quizzes, activities, and experiments, and a final page lists 'Amazing Facts.' Ind. From HORN BOOK 1997, (c) Copyright 2010.
