The Way We Work by David Macaulay
Find out how YOU work in this ultimate guide to the amazing human body! Most of us don’t stop to consider the countless tasks our bodies perform automatically for us, while we get on with living... David Macaulay, the award-winning author-illustrator of The Way Things Work, was no exception. Known for his curiosity about everything from how buildings stand up to why engines break down, he remained happily ignorant of what went on inside him. Once his interest was eventually sparked, he found he was hooked. The Way We Work is the result of years of research, during which he sat in on anatomy classes, dissections and numerous operations. In the book’s seven comprehensive sections, he presents detailed information about everything inside us – from the cells which form us to the complex systems they build – with clarity, depth and warm good humour. Let David Macaulay introduce you to you... There is no other book like it!
