This irresistibly grisly, top-to-toe body atlas is based on the world's first complete digital model of the human anatomy. Created from MRI scans of a real human body, it showcases the most advanced medical imaging technology and 3-D graphics, revealing the human form with an astonishing level of clarity and detail. Just the sort of gruesome stuff kids won't be able to resist!
- Includes a CD packed with anatomy visuals and interactive animations
- Transparent acetate pages turn over to reveal how key body parts work
- Supports National Science Curriculum at Key Stage 2
Revealing our internal structure from head to toe, layer-by-layer, system-by-system - including muscles, blood vessels, nerves, bones, ligaments, tendons and more - Body enables young readers to not only learn about a specific part of the body but also how the parts fit and work together.

A note from the author
 "This book shows just how complicated we are - the delicate way our bones fit together, the miles of tubing that supply blood to nourish every body part, the extraordinary system we have for digesting food and waste disposal.
But, though we cannot make machines as good as our bodies, we have been able to build machines that tell us more about what we look like inside than ever before. The pictures in this book are only possible because modern scanning machines, and modern computing, give the basis for these captivating images. When we look at these pictures we should remember what a gift the body is, and that we should look after it."
