Customer Reviews

Interesting and informative science book.

I've read this book several times, and I think it's great. It is packed with interesting nuggets about the human body, and is a great book to just read when you have some spare time.

My only gripe is that there are no colored pictures, which I think would enhance the diagrams in the book.
