Here is an entirely new kind of dictionary -- one that is packed with superb, full-color photographs and illustrations, plus thousands of anatomical terms. The Visual Dictionary of the Skeleton will give you instant access to the specialized vocabulary relating to skeletons in a way that is clear, informative, and easy to understand. If you know what a particular type of skeleton or skeletal feature looks like but don't know its name, then turn to the labels around the illustrations. Alternatively, if you know a term but don't know exactly what it refers to, then the comprehensive index will direct you to the illustration that bears the name. This volume forms part of a series that, like the Dorling Kindersley Eyewitness Books, builds thematically into a comprehensive and exquisitely illustrated treasure trove of words and pictures providing high-quality information for readers of all ages.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-10?This picture dictionary has two parts: skeleton varieties (human, animal, fish, insect, and plant), and bone structure and function. The pages are uncluttered, featuring well-defined, labeled full-color photographs of skeletons of many organisms; smaller illustrations and diagrams; magnified drawings of cells; and brief explanations. The picture of the human skeleton folds out on both sides of the book, which may result in torn pages. Terms are not always defined the first time they appear; it may be necessary to use the comprehensive index to understand some references. Used with books such as Steve Parker's Skeleton (Knopf, 1988) or Nathan Aaseng's Vertebrates (Watts, 1993), Walker's book will provide readers with a lot of information on the topic.?Martha Gordon, formerly at South Salem Library, NY
