"Let's learn all about the human body, from head to toe. As we peel back each layer of skin, we'll find out about the complex systems that allow our bodies to walk, talk, and think. The brain, heart, lungs, stomach, bones, and reproductive system are all covered in this comprehensive anatomical title, but that's not all. Readers will also study how our bodies work to protect us under threat, illness, and injury and, moreover, how we're able to heal and recover when we do get sick or hurt." --Page 4 of cover.
