The Human Body (Wooden Books Gift Book) - Softcover
Our bodies are the only things we ever truly own, yet most of of us haven't got a clue what they are made of and how they manage to grow, thrive and survive everything we chuck at them.

With useful appendices and a glossary. WOODEN BOOKS are small but packed with information.

About the Author:
Review:
Moff Betts, M.D., lives and practices in Wales.
“...short and witty passages accompanied by beautiful woodcuts....while the text is beguilingly simple, it is neither dumbed down nor stripped of scientific vocabulary. The descriptions are rich and artful, and typically within a stone's throw of modern scientific understanding.” ―The Lancet
