Selection, Best Reference Books of 2021... Detailed illustrations,
vivid colors, and magnified views dominate the pages of science and
research fellow Vayttaden and medical doctor Gustafson's dynamic
guide to the human body. Chapters organized by system drill down
into subtopics (smooth muscles, facial muscles) and conclude with
notes on major disorders and injury. Medical graphics by SciePro,
boxed text, and diagrams aid in understanding occasionally complex
body function explanations.-- "Library Journal" (3/1/2022 12:00:00
AM)
The writing is succinct and occasionally complex, supported by an
abundance of 3D renderings, charts, cross-sections,
low-magnification micrographs, illustrations, and photographs, the
majority of which come from the medical illustration company
SciePro. Boxed sidebars (on, for instance, the anatomy of a taste
bud) and graphics (an image depicting an aneurysm) address niche
topics and add clarity. Readers will be aided by the book's
thoughtful page layouts, font choices, and use of color; the
glossary and index add to usefulness. Curious readers can find
answers to specific inquiries or browse an overview of the
lymphatic system, brain structure, or information on allergic
response. A fascinating, attractive, and valuable addition to any
library.--Maggie Knapp "Library Journal" (1/1/2022 12:00:00 AM)
