You’ll spend your WHOLE LIFE in your body. So it’s only fair you know how it works, right? This book will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know about the machine that is YOU. From your astonishing brain to your hard-working heart. Get ready for the BIG questions, like: How many muscles do you move playing Fortnight? (A twitch of a thumb on the controller uses TEN muscles) Are chillis actually HOT? (Short answer: no. We’ve been fooled by a plant.) How far can we sneeze? (Your sneeze droplets can reach up to eight meters – which means you could sneeze over an entire class.) You’ll also meet people like Chevalier Jackson, who collected things that people had swallowed by accident (for science, of course). And learn about why we poo (and why it smells). Packed with facts, history and humour, this beautifully illustrated book, from global bestselling science and history author Bill Bryson (ask your mum, he’s the one with the beard), will help you understand the secrets to our bodies and brains.

From the award-winning team behind Tiny and Lots comes a new book exploring another fascinating area of biology: growth.

A beautifully illustrated introduction to the concept of DNA for younger readers. All living things grow – every plant and every animal, including human beings. Some things grow fast and others grow slowly; some things grow by tiny degrees, while others grow to be enormous. Yet there's something about the way we grow that links us all together. Ever since you were the size of a dot, your body has been following a set of instructions: a code, which connects you with every creature on the planet... With words from Nicola Davies and exquisite artwork by Emily Sutton, this groundbreaking book is certain to enchant and inspire children.

Ka-choo! Brrr. Yawnnnn.

Have you ever wondered what makes you sneeze when you're in a dusty room? Or shiver when you get out of the bathtub? Or yawn when you're tired? All of these actions are reflexes. Your body makes them happen even though you don't tell it to.

Budding young scientists will be amazed as Melvin Berger and Paul Meisel reveal the mysteries behind the reflexes that happen in our bodies every day and offer fun-filled experiments to try on family and friends. Let's Read and Find Out Science, Stage 2.

Would you like to know how germs were discovered? Who found the first antibiotic? Who first described blood circulation? How scientists discovered DNA, and insulin, etc...? If you are curious, then read this series. These are some of the stories about the most important medical discoveries ever made, which have saved millions and millions of lives. These extraordinary discoveries are not a simple matter of luck or talent; they are the results of tenacious hard work and never-ending curiosity. Like Louis Pasteur said, "Chance favors only the prepared mind." There are still many medical mysteries awaiting you to solve. You, as a young doctor, can make a difference and can save more lives. This book is about the discovery of vitamins. It is also about young people just like yourselves, who never gave up.
