  Part of an updated series on the body, with an emphasis on health education, this book concentrates on the brain and nervous system. It includes the most up-to-date medical thinking and stresses a positive attitude to health. In giving a description of a journey through the body's digestive system full explanations are given on what each part of the system does. Extra emphasis is placed on the importance of healthy diet from childhood and the need for dental health. Other new information includes the recently-established links between diet and behaviour, performance at school and certain aspects of intelligence.
