Peel back, take apart and get inside the awesome science of the human body, then put it back together again!

Inside Info: Taking Apart the Human Body is full of the fast-pumping, electric and surprising features of our insides. Working inwards from the outermost body bits – our millions of hairs and many layers of protective skin – to the very centre of our bones, we get to know the parts and processes keeping our body running. Finally, see how our cells build up and bring together each part, and how doctors get up-close ‘inside info’ every day using amazing tech.

Contents include: Inside the human body / Outer layer (skin) / Muscles / Bony bits / Inside a Bone / Inside your head / Nerves and senses / The blood / Blood pumping (circulatory system) / Made for breathing (lungs and respiratory system) / Dealing with food (digestive system) / Body building blocks (cell types) / Medical technology to see inside

Inside Info is a stylish and engrossing series of books diving into the layers of things kids are curious about – giving them the chance to pull it all apart and put it back together again, while learning STEM fundamentals! Full of cross-sections, cutaways, exploded diagrams, labels, jokes and easter-egg details for the curious reader age 7+ to discover.
