Book SynopsisWelcome to the museum that is always open to explore...Step inside the pages of Anatomicum to enjoy the experience of a museum from the comfort of your own home. The 2019 offering from Welcome to the Museum guides readers through the human body, from the muscles we use to show emotion, to the delicate workings of the brain. With sumptuous artwork by Katy Wiedemann and expert text by professor Dr Jennifer Z Paxton, this beautiful book is a feast of anatomical knowledge.Trade ReviewPublished in association with The Wellcome Collection, this intimate guide to the human body, from the top of the skull to the tip of the toes, is illustrated with detailed anatomical drawings that show every muscle group and nerve. Expert descriptions are simple enough for young readers and will inspire budding doctors and scientists. * Daily Mail *This beautiful book explores the human body from underneath the skin as if it were a journey through a museum. Katy Wiedemann's delicately drawn diagrams accompanyJennifer Paxton's detailed anatomical information for a learning experience that is quite unlike any other. * Science Focus *Gone are the days of boring non-fiction books just full of facts. This is a beautifully illustrated, comprehensive book about the body which is a treat for the mind, as well as a visual delight. * The Teacher Bookworm *Children and parents will be absorbed by this remarkable book * Carousel *Anatomicum is the most incredible book, written by Dr Jennifer Z Paxton (University of Edinburgh), illustrated by Katy Wiedemann and printed by Big Picture Press.The book is set out as if you are walking around the inside of your body and exploring every part - much as you would when you enter a museum. You are taken on a tour chapter by chapter through the different parts of the anatomy, referring to each chapter as a 'Gallery'. As you progress through the book you discover about every system in the body, right down to how a human evolves from a single cell and what happens to us during puberty.Gallery is an apt name for each chapter because the descriptions are accompanied by the most incredible graphic and realistic illustrations I have ever seen. Each diagram is clearly labelled (including Latin names) to tell you exactly which part is which, with a key to concisely explain each part.The text is incredibly clear and easy to read and the descriptions are really easy to follow. The book is large, which ensures the diagrams are easy to look at and it is well spaced out, thus ensuring that an overload of information is not what you feel you're walking away with. Every subject matter is dealt with sympathetically and sensitively in a matter of fact way - thus ensuring that the journey you take through the book is one of awe and wonder about how amazing our bodies really are.This book is absolutely invaluable for anyone starting at secondary school - as my son has just done - and I wish that a book like this had been available when I was studying the anatomy at school. Not a stone has been left unturned when creating this book and I believe it is a must-have for every household. My children find it fascinating to flick through and concentrate on an organ or system at a time. They are particularly enamoured by the illustrations, which you'd be forgiven for confusing for photographs in places, they are so good. What an amazing Christmas gift! * Review Studio UK *

Book SynopsisKatie Daynes (Author) Katie has been writing non-fiction children's books for almost half her life and loves questioning the world from a child's point of view. She's developed some of Usborne's bestselling series, including the See Inside books and Lift-the-flap Questions & Answers. When she's not writing, she likes drinking coffee, walking on the moors and playing competitive board games with her children.Trade ReviewIt would be impossible to praise this series too highly. * The Bookseller *A smart, fun, exciting, interactive introduction to what is arguably the most fascinating topic of scientific study, the human body. The flap panels encourage the reader to participate in the journey into the hidden wonders that our body has to offer, taking them deeper into the functionality and intricate detail of our tissues. With a perfect balance of scientific terminology and simplistic explanations of the various systems in our bodies, the young anatomist will find this book informative and stimulating. It’s a superb introduction to the human body! * Dr. Gemma Balmer *Two that my daughter (nearly five) adores and goes back to again and again are See Inside Your Body by Katie Daynes (£8.99) and The Flip-Flap Body Book (£7.99, both Usborne). The first is fairly detailed, and it covers eating, excreting, bones, muscles and the senses and has lift-up flaps. It’s really good for learning about food and what happens to it. You can read out the simpler bits and go into more details as she gets older. If you were to buy just one book for her that would be right for her now and last for a couple more years, this would be my recommendation. The Flip-Flap Body Book covers food and digestion, the sense and how babies are made in a very basic fashion (note: each of these topics is the subject of a separate book that goes into more detail and costs £4.99) but it’s very accessible and aimed at young children. * Annalisa Barbieri - The Guardian - Best chilren's books on the human body *This is a great book for introducing children to the inner workings of the human body. It is especially good for children with why and how questions about what happens in their bodies. The lift flaps are excellent at keeping the books and content interactive and entertaining. * Toppsta Reader Review *An entertaining book... Parents will learn a thing or two along the way, as well. * Sunday Express *Table of Contents1 Your amazing body2 Eating and excreting3 Breathing air4 Pumping blood5 Bones and muscles6 Brain power7 The senses8 Drinking and weeing9 Body words

Book SynopsisIt's 1839 and you are a medical student working on your first human body dissection! Under the watchful eye of Dr Walker, peel the flaps back to reveal the inner workings of the human body, from bone and muscle, to the brain, eyes, heart, lungs and everything in-between. Victorian-inspired illustrations meet with medical notes and sketches to give a complete in-depth exploration of how the human body works.Word count including flaps: approx 5,000Trade ReviewIdeal for the scientifically minded or the faintly morbid.This anatomy guide boasts up-to-the-minute information with a victorian twist; set in the 1839, it casts the reader as a medical student embarkng on their first dissection. Loving coloured mutilayed flaps and pop-ups give a brilliant sense of the human form's complexity. * The Guardian *a Victorian-style guide by Richard Walker to the workings of our bodies with finely detailed pictures by Rachel Caldwell. Good and gruesome. * The Evening Standard *We've been oooh-ing and aah-ing over this insanely complex pop-up book - it lets you peer right inside the human body without using a scalpel! Peel back flaps and remove the illustrated organs to reveal the inner workings of our bodies. The intricate paper engineering and clear descriptions transport you to an operating theatre in Victorian Britain, giving an incredible insight into what's inside of us. * National Geographic Kids *A cracking pop-up book with a twist. Not just a visual spectacle, this book hand-holds the reader through a victorian-era dissection under the careful instruction of Dr Walker, who guides and comments on every lift-up flap and 3D vital organ. the characterisation and storyline really add to the expereince, and this book is bound to appeal to children aged 9-12 who are interested in science, history and medicine. * School Reading List *The human body is often described as a miracle of nature... and now you can see the mysteries of its inner workings literally spring to life in this remarkable, interactive pop-up guide to anatomy. The human body is complex, amazing, gruesome, but mostly extraordinary. It moves, senses, thinks and grows, whilst also being capable of reproducing, repairing and defending itself. Although we are familiar with the outside appearance of the body, much of what it does goes on unseen inside us, every second of the day. This fascinating book aims to explain these processes and, in turn, to help youngsters (and their parents!) understand them by looking in detail at the structure and workings of the body from the head downwards. By combining incredible paper engineering with Victorian-inspired illustrations by debut artist Rachel Caldwell and medical notes written by human body expert Richard Walker, The Human Body provides a compelling and in-depth exploration of how the body works. It's 1839 in Victorian Britain and you are a medical student working on your first human body dissection in an operating theatre! Under the watchful eye of Dr Walker, peel back the flaps and remove the organs to reveal the inner workings of the human body layer by layer, from bone and muscle, to the brain, eyes, heart, lungs and everything in between. Your apprenticeship begins here!Lift the flaps, look inside the intricately detailed pop-ups and then peruse the glossary at the end which lists everything you have seen, from the arteries and capillary blood vessels to nerves, neurons, muscles, the spinal cord and cell tissues. Caldwell's scientific artwork is breathtaking while Walker's medical notes are eminently accessible with plenty of interesting facts and flashes of humour to keep young readers entertained. The perfect gift for budding scientists and doctors... and all curious kids! -- Pam Norfolk * Lancashire Evening Post *Our first Picture Book of the Week this week is a serious "WOW!" book, and a thoroughly absorbing guide to what's under your skin...Imagine being a Victorian medical student, charged with finding out more about the human body. Back then the only option was to find yourself a fresh cadaver (by legal means, naturally, none of that Burke and Hare nonsense!) and start peeling back the skin to see what lay underneath. Thankfully this is 2019 and we don't have to resort to such methods to learn a lot more about our fascinating bodies.In "The Human Body: A Pop-Up Guide to Anatomy" by Richard Walker and Rachel Caldwell, you can do the same from the comfort of your own armchair with some of the most astonishing paper engineering we've seen in a body book.Each illustration takes its cues from classic anatomy books of the 19th century, but in full colour - with layer after layer of rather gruesome but endlessly fascinating anatomy to find out more about, starting with the head!Each page delicately reveals layer after layer of detail, and descriptive text to explain what you're looking at - and how it all works.From the head the book moves down to the chest, again fully revealing your muscles, skeleton and vital organs tucked inside. It's absolutely astonishingly detailed, and so utterly clever we couldn't fail to fall completely in love with it.Definitely more suitable for older kids but thoroughly fascinating and extremely cleverly done. * Read it Daddy *Lastly, it would not be right to explore humans and humanity without one in-depth look inside the body. This comprehensive, somewhat gruesome, guide to the human body invites the reader to venture on a real post-mortem examination, cleverly using paper engineering so that the reader can look beneath body parts - my favourite section definitely the abdomen, in which you can open up the body to see the kidneys and small intestine from different angles.The illustrations feel old-school, traditional, multi-layered in their detail (each is highly captioned to show which body part is which), and also with instruments pencil-sketched too, so that the scalpel and tweezers lie happily next to the body. The book explains the different systems of the body - circulatory, respiratory etc, with keen observation and elucidation. Sentences are short and sweet, keeping it simple without numerous subclauses interrupting the information, and it feels matter-of-fact and clear.You can lift the blood spatter to see it under a microscope, or open the heart to see how it works. Each tooth has been extracted so that they can be labelled, and the thorax can be opened in many layers to explore the ribs, lungs and heart. There's even opportunity to remove the skin from the upper arm and shoulder to see the muscles underneath. This is a thoroughly enjoyable way to be educated on the human body and how it works, and a beautifully stylised well-thought-out book. * Minerva Reads *
