Reproduction and Genetics

(4) 4-6 Human Machine series. Introductory information on human body systems and structure is presented in a textbooklike, question-driven format that is heavy on facts, light on depth, and tied together through analogies with machines. The colorful illustrations and busy layouts include helpful diagrams, stock photos, and additional factual asides. Reproduction, in particular, keeps its discussion too vague to be very informative. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Human Machine titles: Digestion and Excretion, Respiration and Circulation, The Skeleton and Muscles, The Brain and Nervous System, Cells, Tissues, and Organs, and Reproduction and Genetics.
