"Imagine a device so powerful, it can propel its cargo more than 60,000 miles!" With this somewhat heroic introduction, The Human Heart employs a 60 Minutes-like news magazine format as it embarks on a journey through the inner workings of the body's most important muscle. Divided into three sections, the program looks at the "heart's parts" (structure), the "heart at work" (pulmonary and systemic circulation), and being "heart smart" (heart-healthy tips). Combining solid narration (from both adult cardiac professionals and teenage students), quality 3D animation, relevant vocabulary, and useful summaries, this solid introduction is recommended.
