Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 6-10-Brynie asked hundreds of students for their questions about blood and circulation, and has answered 101 of them in a straightforward, well-organized style. She explains the operation of the circulatory system, from how the heart pumps to where a single red blood cell can travel, and addresses such topics as palpitations, heart attacks, the role of diet and exercise in heart health, and various components in blood (platelets, albumin, etc.). The writing is brisk but informative. The diagrams are clear and easy to understand, and the black-and-white photos, while few, are well chosen-especially that of a plaque deposit taken from a clogged artery. The volume also includes three supplementary tables that cover the endocrine glands, the immune system, and the role of vitamins and minerals in cardiovascular health. A solid overview, written in an approachable style.-Christine A. Moesch, Buffalo & Erie County Public Library, NY
