The Human Body Its Structure and Operations By Isaac Asimov, Anthony Ravielli...

In writing a book about the human body there is the great advantage that all the readers know what a human body is.” Who but Isaac Asimov would begin a serious textbook in such a jovial way? Sketching first the biological order of the evolutionary process until he reaches its apogee, man, he establishes the place of homo sapens in Nature’s scheme. Then, limb by limb, organ by organ, occasionally cell by cell, he describes man internally and externally in terms of his chemical and structural nature. Throughout, technical terminology is followed by an informal phonetic breakdown and etymological identification.
