The Way We Work: Getting to Know the Amazing Human Body

The Way We Work: Getting to Know the Amazing Human Body
by David Macaulay
Houghton Mifflin Company
336 pages

Macaulay leads readers on a highly visual journey through the basics workings of the human body. In seven comprehensive sections he and coauthor Richard Walker take us from the cells of which we are formed to the individual systems they build. Each double-page spread explores a different aspect of this complex structure while gradually constructing as straightforward an overview as possible of the links between the inner workings of the body and the world outside.

I found the organization of information to be confusing and some of the illustrations difficult to understand. This is a beautiful book, but not the best organized work of non-fiction on the human body.
