How the Incredible Human Body Works . . . By the Brainwaves
From the same artistic team who gave us How Nearly Everything was Invented, How the Incredible Human Body Works takes readers on a rollicking, rip-roaring romp around the human body. The second book in the Brainwaves series, this quirky yet informative book looks at the body’s physiological processes and its anatomical make-up. Watch the Brainwaves fight with the body’s defense force against invasions from toxic bacteria, dodge squirting digestive juices that can reduce anything to a pulp, or get washed away on a raging red river of blood. The Brainwaves are little people on a big adventure—come join them on their mission of mischievous mayhem.

Richard Walker trained originally as a zoologist.

Among his human biology books for DK are the Guide to the Human Body, 3-D Eyewitness Human Body, Encyclopedia of the Human Body, and Body.

Ralph and Lisa established Last Lemon Productions in 1999, which originates, produces, and licenses vibrant and humorous cartoon properties.
