Want to know how leukocytes work? What lifestyle vampire bats lead? How does a tornado form? Mike Barfield and Jess Bradley have the answers to these and many other questions. You are in for an exciting story not only about...
life on Earth but also beyond it! The book consists of three sections: the first is dedicated to the human body, the second to the animal kingdom, and the third to the explanation of various natural phenomena. If you are interested in how the human body is structured, what animals do when no one is watching them, as well as the scientific basis for various natural phenomena, then you will definitely enjoy this book. The regularly featured section "A Day in the Life" gives a brief insight, for example, into the life of an eye or... a Komodo dragon. If you want to learn everything in detail, you should check out the "Close-Up" pages, and the "Diaries" will tell you what a particular part of the body, some animal, or even a lightning bolt really feels like! Thanks to the principle of "a little bit of everything," the authors managed to cover an impressive number of topics. Although each of them is allotted one to two pages, detailed diagrams and thorough material development help the book avoid superficial coverage. Amusing situations that showcase the life of the "heroes" lighten the narrative. In this book, a hero can be anyone or even anything! The organs of the human body present themselves to us as efficient workers, each with its own character. And spiders, anemones, bananas, and coconuts, lightning, rocks, and even space probes become characters in funny stories and start telling about themselves.
