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.
