Understanding the Human Body: Biological Perspectives for Healthcare

by Helen Godfrey

Understanding the Human Body: Biological Perspectives for Healthcare Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

Focusing on what it means to be human from a biological perspective, this new title is visually stunning and enjoyable to read. Color micrographs highlight the beauty of structures within the human body, while photographs and paintings emphasize the whole person and transcend the boundaries between art and science. Rather than providing numerous details and describing the human body as a machine, the focus is primarily on key concepts and universal human experiences. This unusual and novel approach is designed to capture readers' imaginations and help them understand in a unique way what it means to be human.
