Our bodies are really just machines, but they are more complicated and built better than any machine we can make. The human brain can out-calculate any computer; human bones are six times stronger than steel; and the senses of smell and vision are more sensitive and accurate than in any apparatus we can build. This fascinating book shows the human body in all its wonderful complexity — the delicate way bones fit together, the miles of tubing that supply blood to nourish every body part, the extraordinary digesting of food and waste disposal. Written by expert Richard Walker, El cuerpo humano contains a wealth of captivating color images and illuminating text.
