Understanding the Human Body Summary

Understanding the Human Body by Espen Dietrichs

This work examines and explains the essentials of anatomy and physiology through the technique of integrating photography, drawings and text. The subject matter is developed and illustrated through the use of drawings and diagrams overlaid on to photographs of the human body. Separate sections within the double-page spread carry information related to the central topic, using words or illustrations as appropriate. This allows the reader to access a large amount of information within a compact and concise format. By providing information in this way, the book ensures that detailed descriptions of the body and its functions are placed within an easily understood context, and enables the reader to immediately visualize the actual structures and processes at work under the skin. The figurative and textual presentations of the material also offer instant reinforcement of the learning process, making the subject material easier to remember. This book was the winner of the Association of Medical Illustrators Award for College Medical Textbooks.
