Praise for The Human Body "The human body, for all of its amazing
traits, is capable of breaking down, and this informative book
covers both historical and modern innovations that help repair and
strengthen it. . . the open page design and ample full-color photos
and historical diagrams will easily draw in middle-grade readers,
especially those looking for a more macabre look at history and
science." --Booklist "An effective approach, one that follows
developments in medical innovation across the centuries. . .
Numerous photographs and historical illustrations of current and
past medical devices--including the gruesome tools once used for
surgery and tooth extraction--provide fascinating detail and
context." --The Horn Book Accolades for HP Newquist: NSTA
