Editorial Reviews

04/01/2023

Gr 7–10—A longitudinal look at health and the human body from ancient times to modern, in which evidence-based medicine is important. Science history and contemporary research build upon each other to explain how things are studied and understood. Large paragraphs are broken up by mixed media art and pop-up facts to keep the reader engaged. The historical discussion allows for a more linear narrative for medical technology innovations. Readers will be familiar with many of the diseases discussed throughout and how they apply to the system in focus. VERDICT This is a great choice for middle and high school libraries as a resource for health and biology coursework.
