R120 R109 Discovery Miles 1 090 Save R11 (9%) Ships in 5 - 10 working days

A human body book with a twist – discover the science behind the weird and unusual stuff our bodies can do from Dr Azmain Chowdhury, with illustrations from Daniel Nelson.

You know your heart is always beating, your intestines digest your food, and even that your brain is still awake when you’re asleep – that’s no mystery. But why do we get "brain freeze" if we eat ice cream too quickly? And why on earth do we get butterflies in our stomach when we’re nervous? And is it true we can squirt milk from our eyes?!

This book focuses on the bizarre things all of our bodies do – including things we don’t understand (looking at you, appendix). Dr Azmain also asks the burning medical questions we’ve all been wondering about:

  • Why does coriander taste like soap to some people?
  • How long can we stay awake for?
  • Can our hearts actually break after a romantic break-up? (Asking for a friend).

Filled with gross, surprising, and downright terrifying facts, it’s bloated with cool science to impress your friends.

Philip Bunting
R181 Discovery Miles 1 810 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Told with Philip Bunting’s inimitable wit, this new non-fiction picture book will explore the most fascinating part of the human body, the bit that makes you YOU, your brain.

It is pretty easy to argue that the human brain is the most extraordinary thing in the known universe. But there is so much we don’t know about the thing behind our eyes. Where do thoughts come from? Why do we dream? Why have our brains become 10% smaller over the past ten to twelve thousand years? Why do we get brain-freeze? Why!? Okay, that last one … we do know the answer to. But there is much to learn – and much fun to be had – by taking a quick poke around the human brain (which would feel a bit like tofu, or firm jelly, if you did poke it).

Your Brilliant Brain dives into the complex and intriguing world inside your head, covering various topics like:

  • The different parts of the brain, from the brain stem to the cerebellum
  • How neurons, synapses, and nerves function
  • The senses, emotions, and all the unconscious things your brain does without you even knowing!
  • Memory, learning, and sleep
  • The nitty gritty, like how the brain has evolved, or what the Basal ganglia does
  • ... and more!

    This book explores the fascinating world of biology - the study of all life, from tiny bacteria to plants, animals and entire ecosystems. Discover how living things behave and interact, and the amazing ways they adapt to the world around them. Find out how life on Earth began, how it has changed, and what living things might look like in millennia to come. Take a closer look at cells - the building blocks of life itself - and the vital role they play.

    Through a mix of diagrams, infographics, comic strips and clear, engaging text, this book shows readers what the study of biology is about, how much it covers, and why YOU might want to study it further yourself. It investigates some of the big issues that biologists are grappling with today, from preventing the spread of ever-evolving diseases to saving animals and plants from extinction.

    Chapters in this book include:

  • What is biology?
  • Life and death
  • The meaning of life

    Life on Earth

    What different forms does life take, and can we make sense of the sheer variety of it all? How did life begin in the first place?

    Cells and DNA
    Find out all about cells - the tiny building blocks that are part of EVERY living thing. What is DNA, the chemical at the heart of cells?

    Evolution
    Evolution is all about how living things change, very gradually. How does it work? Why do some creatures survive, while others die out? And how did anyone manage to hit upon and test out this grand idea?

    The human body
    There's one kind of living thing that biologists are more interested in than any other. It's us - human beings. What are we made of? How do our bodies work? And what's so special about our brains?

    Ecology
    Ecology is the part of biology that studies how living things grow and change together as a group. This can mean studying small, local habitats, or it can mean looking at how life all over the world is affected by changes, such as deforestation or warming seas.

    Microorganisms
    The very smallest living things - known as microorganisms - are some of the most fascinating. Find out about the bacteria and fungi that play a role in the cycle of life and death, help plants talk to each other, and make all sorts of things from food to medicine.

    Disease
    All living things can get sick. Often, the cause is another living thing. Find out where diseases come from, how they spread, how they actually make you sick, and how to stop them.

    Big questions
    There are endless questions about life that people want answers to. Some of the answers depend on clever experiments and in-depth research. Others come only from debate. For example, if it was possible to live forever, would you even want to?

This unique book reveals astonishing similarities in the anatomy – and many more characteristics - of humans and other animals, celebrating our entire furry, scaly, slimy, slippery, extended family.

Children will be delighted to discover how similar they are to bats, bees, dogs, frogs, jellyfish, giraffes, and many more. By encouraging readers to make connections between distant corners of the animal kingdom, this book celebrates the extraordinary ways in which all of Earth’s creatures are connected. Created in partnership with the Humanimal Trust, a charity advocating collaboration between physicians and veterinarians, this book is underpinned by cutting-edge medical science. The charity’s founder - Professor Noel Fitzpatrick - is an internationally renowned veterinarian, who also stars in his own TV series, The Supervet (a nickname he has earned through the groundbreaking veterinary procedures he performs).
