The Human Body

A three-volume set from the acclaimed Just the Facts series, The Human Body takes an interesting look at what makes us tick--literally. Combining animation, live-action, and interviews with prominent health care specialists, the final volume, Major Systems and Organs, shows viewers how the various parts of the body work together to maintain a living, walking, breathing, reproducing individual, while the first two titles deal with The Musculoskeletal System and The Nervous System, respectively. An ideal introduction to human anatomy and physiology, with technical jargon kept to a minimum, the series features outstanding production qualities (with vivid colors and top-notch animation), and an appealing series price. Highly recommended. Aud: H, P. (J. Carlson)
