The illustrative images alone make this a remarkable book
By AC
...and the diagrams/images aren't of the tiny, useless variety often found in texts that attempt to include a lot of diagrams or illustrations -- so many other books cram images on pages with seemingly little care, thought, or regard for how a reader or student would 'see' such images (well, how they would *try* to, anyway)... and especially if/when labelling multiple aspects of any such images.
This book, however, treats images almost as though they were an analogue to the text of 'large print' publications -- you can *see* what the image is actually *illustrating*, and it's such a breath of fresh air to encounter a book that does this at all, let alone without cluttering the pages with such images (which could then complicate the 'visual space', and subsequent 'readability' of any such images, let alone potentially 'get in the way of' the reader-based 'processing' of any accompanying text).
There is a reason that this book weighs over 4 pounds -- not only are there many pages, but the pages are not made of flimsy paper -- it's quality, thicker-than-often-encountered, 'good paper'... and this high quality paper also plays a role in how the colors of the illustrations and photos are rendered.
The concept, design, and execution of the composition and printing of this book are all of high quality, and result in this book being exceptional not only with respect to content, but with respect to the overall 'presentation' of the material, and especially the all-important illustrations.
The fact that there is explanatory text which also accompanies the incredible number of wonderful illustrations, let alone that so many physiological processes associated with "how the body works" are given their time in the spotlight (including something I would have loved reading about as an adolescent, after breaking a bone -- i.e. how the body repairs a bone), results in this book being one that I will not part with.
Being the science and human physiology 'student for life' that I am, I would have treasured having this book long ago, when embarking on my own attempts to research the how(s) and why(s) of various human anatomy, physiology, and medicine -based whatnot.
This is a great book, and I highly recommend it for anyone wishing to learn more about the human body, and human physiology -- or, as is the case for so many, for those wishing to learn more about any of various physical structures associated with a given medical condition.
As they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words", and the illustrations included in this book not only 'say' a lot, but are award-worthy, in my opinion. Additionally, they are accompanied by text that has been carefully written for a lay audience/readership.

An excellent anatomy and physiology book
By Metallurgist
This is an excellent anatomy and physiology book, written for a student and for anyone interested in how their body works. It is 512 pages long and is highly illustrated, containing anatomical drawings, x-rays and photographs that not only show the anatomical structures of the body, but also illustrate such things as dreams, medical examinations of the ear and taking a pulse. The anatomical structures are shown both as color drawings and in many cases also as x-rays. In addition, it also discusses things like how the kidneys work, the role of fat and its conversion into energy, how the lungs work and the circulation system in general. The anatomy is combined with the physiology, so the book shows the heart (with separate sections for the chambers and valves) and also how it beats (with separate sections for the conduction system, the cardiac cycle) and a section that puts this all together showing how the heart beats.
The drawings are in color and are highly informative and while nowhere as detailed as a medical school text, it is in my opinion more than adequate for the layman or for a lower level student (including those training to be a doctor's assistant or laboratory technician).
Please note - the same author has two books "Physiology" and "The Atlas of the Human Body", which are subsets of this book, i.e., together these two books make up "How the Body Works". "The Atlas of the Human body" contains chapters that divide the human body into sections, such as the head, neck, upper limbs abdomen, etc. and the very same sections appear, verbatim, in "How the Human Body Works", but in the latter these section are expanded somewhat. "Physiology" contains sections on subjects such as "How the body responds to exercise" or "How allergies occur", which are not included in "The Atlas of the Human Body", but appear verbatim in "How the Body Works".
