THE WAY WE WORK

By David Macaulay. The famous author and illustrator, a master at making the complex understandable, spent years observing anatomy classes, dissections, and surgeries before drawing the often-humorous two-page spreads that allow readers to visualize what anatomical structures do. From cell structure, to the mechanics of a hand, to the process by which the heart pumps blood, to the chemical exchanges that sustain life, and ending with the way cells combine to create new life, this captivating journey brilliantly explains physiological processes. Grades 5 and up. Index. Glossary. 9" x 11". Houghton Mifflin. 336 pages. ©2008.
