Overview
Take a jaw-dropping journey inside the human body with this bestselling DK encyclopedia. Using ground-breaking, strikingly realistic CGI artwork, it reveals the organs, systems and processes that keep us alive, from the beating heart to the firing synapses of the brain.

About the Book
Do you ever wonder what's really happening inside you right now? This hardback encyclopedia answers that question in breathtaking detail. Ground-breaking computer-generated imagery zooms in on every part of the human machine, from skin and skeleton to the digestive, respiratory, nervous and circulatory systems, showing exactly how each one works. Crystal-clear text distils complex science into easy-to-understand explanations, while hundreds of diagrams, infographics and photographs bring every page to life. Young readers will discover why sweating can be a lifesaver, how the brain stores memories, why blood is bright red, and what happens inside a cell. There's also a timeline charting key milestones in the history of medical science, connecting the biology to real-world discovery. Structured head-to-toe across 208 pages, the book is designed so children can dip in and out, reading a section at a time and pausing to ask questions, making it just as useful for quiet reading as for homework and school projects. Fact-checked by subject experts, it offers accuracy well beyond a quick online search, and its bold, encyclopedic style forms part of DK's celebrated Knowledge Encyclopedia range, sitting alongside titles on space, dinosaurs and the ocean. Whether used for biology revision, curiosity-driven bedtime reading or as a family reference book pulled off the shelf again and again, this is an encyclopedia built to be treasured for years to come.
