Brain Power

Another excellent book by Stille. She nicely organizes the information and explains the nervous system. She explains how "the brain is the center of our emotions" (8). Covers the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems. Detailed description of the brain, spinal cord, nerve cells (i.e. axons can be more than 3 feet long), how nerves talk, and nerves and muscles. There is a list of print, web, and other resources, a glossary, and index. Karen Woodworth-Roman, Children's Science Book Review
