This book is intended for non-medical professionals, and thusdoes not explain things in much detail or depth. However, it explainsenough for the people who are interested in health and human physiology. One of the strength of this book is that the author tries to explain how things work in human body. This isn't just the atlas like other atlas books where authors simply list lots of terminologies of the parts with the figures (only with few explanations). Especially, I liked the way the author explains about how hormone system works. One might wonder the quality of the pictures (or the book overall) would be any good considering the price of this book, and I can say that this is a quality book. This book is published in 1999, so I guess that at least it has the most updated information regarding human body. I can hardly think of any other book that can surpass the quality/price ration that this book offers. There is another book that is complementary to this book: Atlas of the Human Body, by Takeo Takahashi. Some pictures are better in Takahashi's book (actually, many figures are better). But this book is more expensive and published in 1995. If you need only one "Know Your Body" will be the one to choose, because it has more explanations of "why/how". In my case, I bought both. Note that these books may not be intended for medical professionals, they are detailed enough to get you bored unless you are really interested in human body, health, and physiology. So, be prepared. It is like a text book reading.

Although this book is now out of print, it is well worth a search to find this jewel. It is rare to find a book like this on Pakistan, and in a way that is geared towards children. Wonderful!

I never thought I would use the word charming to describe much of anything. This book earns that accolade and much more. Being a fan of Edward Weston as well as Cole Weston, I found this book to be the perfect window into both individuals. Paulette Weston has done a wonderful job pulling together this material from, what I am sure, is a vast archive of family information. It is always exciting to read letters from an age devoid of e-mail and telephone communication was still held with some amount of reverance. This book is a joy for fans of the Weston family and I would strongly recommend it, particularly to anyone who has read Edward Weston's Day Books.

Phenomenal- the mastery of so many spheres of knowledge are rarely displayed with such masterful erudition and breathtaking display of wonders that the world has not seen since the days of Dickens, Chaucer, et. al.

I also thought that the graphical displays within the book were incredible, but there were no pictures of women in unclothed state and only limited information on restricted substances.

This books gives each and every money-making idea a special chapter. For example, when it suggests being a party-helper, it gives you recipes and advice on how to take things out of the oven. This book would make a good present for young entrepreneurs who want more advice on how to get started.

Curiously, many historians have tried to esplain the decline and expiration of the Habsburgs, but the family's rise to power seems not to have been similarly examined. Evans bases his work solidly on primary sources in the period of the Central European Counter-Reformation. He also presents a balanced view of 16th century monarchy, since the consolidation of the Habsburg state was essentially the result of a skillful series of bilateral agreements between greater and lesser rulers. This highly regarded work received several major awards and has established itself as mandatory reading for any serious student of early modern history.

For over twenty adventures now, Nate the Great, the young detective, has searched for his friends' missing things. He's searched for missing stamps, weeds, boring beach bags, missing pets, musical notes, stolen bases, and even saved the King of Sweden (kinda!). In all of this, his mom has been quietly supportive. He leaves a note on the refrigerator to tell her what case he's working on, that he will be back, and that he loves her. But in NATE THE GREAT AND THE MONSTER MESS, Nate investigates the disappearance of something his mother has lost: a special cookie recipe. If Nate and his dog Sludge cannot find the list, Nate will never again enjoy Strawberry Draculas, Chocolate Frankensteins, and Cinnamon Werewolves (his favorite cookie!). Nate is on the search, and he's reluctantly rounding up the usual suspects.

Marjorie Weinman Sharmat is the author of over twenty Nate the Great adventures, including NATE THE GREAT STALKS STUPIDWEED, NATE THE GREAT AND THE BORING BEACH BAG, NATE THE GREAT AND THE HALLOWEEN HUNT, and NATE THE GREAT AND THE MUSHY VALENTINE. She has written dozens of books for young readers. She named Nate the Great after her father. Her books have been named as Children's Choice books and Junior Literary Guild selections, and been picked as Books of the Year by the Library of Congress.

Although most of the Nate the Great series have been written as long stories, this book is one of the series' more recent additions to be broken into chapters. The short, punchy chapters make great stopping places for reading out loud when traveling, or to dole out as rewards-or for those nights when little listeners don't want to go to bed right away and can ask for "just one more chapter." Reading Nate the Great books out loud is always a treat, especially for the reader willing to do character voices and make the most of the terse, first-person narrative. In this book, Nate encounters Annie and her dog Fang, Rosamond and her cats, and Oliver who follows everybody-including Nate the Great on this case. Again, Marjorie Sharmat makes perfect use of logic and clues, building an intriguing mystery that young minds will ferret out and understand.

The entire Nate the Great series is recommended to younger readers and parents who love reading to their children that might have tired of (or memorized!) all of the rhyming Dr. Seuss books. This series makes a great transition to leap from to Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys later.

Longer than a short story, shorter than a novel -- Natural Selection is a great story of action, adventure, and the dark side of life and love. Plus, it's all done up nicely in a package that's perfect to wrap up your evening. Settle back with a bowl of popcorn and a soda, and enjoy the read.

My children demand this book every night, and the soothing rhythmic verse usually does the trick about the time I turn the last page. Thank you, Ms. Bennett for these very useful and loving pages.

This is one of my toddler's favorite books. He loves to look at the colorful pictures. We both were very amused by the surprise ending!
