How well do you know your body? What happens under your skin? Where exactly is your stomach? What does your liver do? How can ears help your balance? The Body Atlas answers all these questions and many more. This unique visual guide reveals the innermost workings of the human bod...y. It approaches a body as if were a map, divided into continents (such as parts of the body) and countries (such as organs). You can see inside your body and examine it region by region - for example, the head and neck or the upper torso. These regions enclose vital structures, such as the brain, lungs, and heart, just as continents contain countries. Body systems such as the circulatory system (blood) and nervous system, link the body regions just like mountains and rivers range across countries. The detailed illustrations carefully pull back the layers of the body so you can see inside the hidden interior. All bones, muscles, and organs are clearly labelled with scientific and common names; and there are photos of parts you wouldn't normally be able to see, such as your vocal cords. Packed with amazing facts and illustrations, The Body Atlas takes you on a top-to-toe tour through your own anatomy. Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, this book has been refreshed for a new generation of budding biologists and doctors-in-the-making. Read more

Does your child have dyslexia?
Backed by research and over a decade of personal experience, I've developed a holistic approach to help your child succeed.
In my forties, while helping my dyslexic son, I discovered I wasn't a lousy speller - I also had dyslexia.
I'm a picture t...hinker. I imagine dyslexia as a huge octopus exhibiting eight areas of difficulty: reading, listening, spelling, writing, memory, motor control, spatial issues, and the frequently overlooked social challenges.
I will show you how to keep your child safe, improve their health and help them develop their unique talents.
* Uncover the links between dyslexia and common health conditions
* Access tools to teach your child: reading, spelling and mastering their multiplication tables
* Understand other learning challenges commonly found alongside dyslexia
* Discover ways to prevent bullying and abuse
* Learn how to build on your child's strengths and competencies
I'll share the secrets on how to thrive, uncovered by a groundbreaking twenty-year study on living with learning difficulties. And I'll include case stories of famous people who overcame their dyslexia.Join my octopus wrestling team as we tackle dyslexia together. Read more
