The beauty of the human body is not limited to what we can discern with the naked eye. The Human Body Close-Up showcases 300 high-magnification color photographs that zoom in on amazing details of the components of our anatomy. The book’s two-page spreads first depict a body part under relatively low magnification and then a portion of that image under higher magnification.
Turn these pages and you will encounter striking depictions of chromosomes, connective tissue, veins, the retina, oocytes and more, graced by John Clancy’s informative text detailing the subject of each image. The Human Body Close-Up reveals the human form—skeleton, muscles, nervous system, immune system, sensory organs—from a whole new perspective.

Beautiful, mind-blowing & awe-inspiring illustrations. Plain, easy-to-follow narrative line, even if you lack a scientific background. Leaves you thirsty for more,and if you are also an artist, off to the canvas you go!
