Synopsis
Why can't we breathe in and talk at the same time? Who discovered X-rays? This book, which examines everything from the bugs that live in your eyelashes to why your heart beats, is part of a series that adopts a less formalized approach to language, combined with strong visual imagery. A detailed description is given of the brain as a central control-centre which although being only a tiny fraction of a body's total weight is the post powerful organ in the body. The senses are covered, developments and discoveries in medicine, the speed of bodily reactions, fingerprinting and DNA expertise. The digestive system, teeth, bacteria, lice and microscopic creatures are explained as are vthe key playing vital organs. To introduce a lighter element, the book discusses hiccups, yawns and sneezes, tears and hair-raising facts. The biological origins of identical twins are described as are a number of miracles of modern medicine.
