Book Review: THE WAY WE WORK
Summary: 5 Stars
GREAT AND CREATIVE DRAWINGS. SUPERB WRITING THAT MAKES INTRICATE SYSTEMS VERY UNDERSTANDABLE AND VERY MUCH ALIVE.Book Review: The Way We Work, by David Macaulay
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautifully done research reference work about the body and how it works. Everyone should have this book in their library.Book Review: What Went Wrong?
Summary: 1 Stars
What a disappointment!
The intended audience for this book--as stated--is 9-12 year old children. No way. The text is incredibly confusing and wanders all over the place. An educated adult would find it hard to follow. It attempts to cover a mother load of topics and in doing so lacks simplicity and understanding. The situation is compounded by the enormity of illustrations (and size) which only tend to confuse, rather than help explain the text.
It's a mess. What happened Mr. Macaulay, I expect better from you?
Book Review: learn about your body and have a few laughs too
Summary: 5 Stars
David Macaulay has taken on the "ultimate" construction, the human body, with his usual skill, expertise and humor. This is a book for all ages, to learn about cells, the relationship of one part of the body to another, the way systems work together and depend on each other and the functionality and beauty of this body we know very little about.
