The most astonishing and complex organism on earth - the human body - is explored in this dynamic series. A dazzling array of specialist photography and state-of-the-art digital illustration reveals the secrets of human biology in breathtaking detail. Incorporating the very latest medical research, this groundbreaking series provides a compelling guide to what makes us work, from our heartbeat to brain cells. Feature spreads take an in-depth look at a wide range of subjects, including the invisible creatures that set up home on our skin and the amazing scanning techniques doctors use to peer inside the body. Rounding off each book is a comprehensive glossary, together with key website links. For anyone who has ever marvelled at the intricacies and workings of the human body, Bodyscope is an indispensable series. The human brain - locked away in its own protective casing and with no moving parts - is the main control centre of the human body. A vast network of nerves runs down from the brain through the spinal cord, spreading out to connect with every part of the body. Bodyscope - Brain Box takes a close look at the nervous system, guiding the reader around the brain and following the tiny electrical signals as they travel down the nerves to their destination. The book also focuses on our incredible senses, which allow us to interact with the outside world.
