Synopsis

This book explains how the human body takes in food and breaks it down, absorbs the useful parts from it and then gets rid of the wastes. It looks at digestive problems and considers what constitutes a healthy diet, showing how properly balanced nutrition can benefit all the systems of the body. The clear and lively text explains these systems in fascinating and intricate detail. It also highlights the workings of the human body contrasted with the bodies of animals. There are case studies and features on health and medicine. Amazing colour photographs combine with original colour artwork to show the different body parts in detail. Weblinks, with useful website addresses which link to sites with more information about a particular topic, are an added feature throughout the book.

Media Reviews
Complete with glossary, further information section and well set out index, Digestion, in the series 'Our Bodies' would update a school library adequately for KS3 and KS4. -- School Librarian 20040701 All these titles are fascinating, insightful and informative. The series is an excellent resource for more able key stage 2 scientists, though intended for KS3. Each title develops its subject matter through straightforward text and clearly detailed illustrations and photographs. Together with a comprehensive contents, index and well chosen web links, this allows readers to engage with the text independently. -- TES 20041022
