The How and Why Wonder Book of The Human Body - 1961

"It is the habit of scientists to explore, describe and explain all things in the universe. Little wonder, then, that the human body has been a constant object of study, for it is not only important but very close to home! The How and Why Wonder Book of the Human Body tells in a systematic way the most important things scientists and physicians have learned about the subject... The health and well-being of each of us depends on how well we understand our own bodies. This book is written to help us gain that understanding and may encourage many persons to choose a career of service in maintaining the health of others, perhaps as a nurse or doctor..." - The How and Why Wonder Book of The Human Body Written by Martin Keen. Illustrated by Darrell Sweet. Published 1961, Wonder Books, New York. Softcover. Approx. 8.5x11in. 48pp. In decent vintage condition.
