Stories inside our bodies

Description

The number of dead cells shed from the skin in one minute is approximately 1. The number of hairs that fall out from an adult's head every day is about 4. If there were 100 people on Earth, 15 would have brown hair, 6 would have black hair, 4 would have golden hair, and 3 would have red hair. A newborn baby has 2 bones, and a fully grown adult has 300 bones.

Did you know these amazing facts about our bodies? <Stories Inside Our Body> is a book that explains about our bodies through photos, drawings, and diagrams. Of course, it is not just ‘sensational’ content as introduced above. You could say it's a seasoning added to make reading a book more enjoyable.

The overall content is comprised of seven chapters: skin and fur, bones, blood, breathing, eating, feeling, and the brain, and each chapter is divided into small headings and explained. Considering that the names of each part of our body are made up of Chinese characters, the method of explaining each part with Chinese character explanation also helps in understanding. (For example, when a bone breaks, it is called a fracture (骨折), which is explained as a combination of the words bone (骨) and bend (折).)

It is easy to read because the text is large in a horizontally wide format and more than half of the text is filled with pictures. You can read it in order from beginning to end, but it's also suitable for looking up whenever you're curious. The appendix contains an index and 30 questions asking whether you remember the contents of the book well.
