Grade 7 Up-A superbly comprehensive and appealing treatment of the physical structure, functions, diseases, and care of skin. Hair, nails, aging, effect of sun exposure, cancer, and even tattooing and face-lifts are included in a question-and-answer format that is useful for reports or general information. Black-and-white illustrations, charts, graphs, photographs, and drawings enhance the text, and the question headings add further visual appeal. The writing is clear and concise yet thorough. Going far beyond teen skin care in coverage, this is a great update of and expansion on books like Alvin and Robert Silverstein's Overcoming Acne: The How and Why of Healthy Skin Care (Morrow, 1990) and more teen-oriented than Joseph Bark's Your Skin: An Owner's Guide (Prentice Hall, 1995).
