In THE WAY WE WORK David Macaulay tackles human anatomy with the same combination of gusto, whimsy, scientific curiosity, and charming illustration that made his THE WAY THINGS WORK a perennial bestseller. Macaulay condenses a wealth of knowledge about the body's amazing systems into each colorful page, making THE WAY WE WORK popular with both children and adults.
| Praise| "Macaulay has taken on the task of explaining the body from atoms on up. He does this with lively color, scientific accuracy and his familiar, and shamelessly hokey, humor." - James Gorman 11/9/08 "Humor thus occasionally leavens the information, which, though often complex and technical, is clearly and succinctly presented in double-page spreads, accompanied by an illuminating array of illustrations...often full of visual metaphors and striking angles." 09/01/2008 |
