Description

How do you think and feel Examining what happens inside your head when you revise for a test or laugh at a joke, this is an exploration of how the brain and body react to different emotions and how you are able to speak, learn, remember and dream. Children can learn about the different parts of the brain, about their nerves, senses and the emotions that make them happy, sad or afraid. There is also information about how to keep the brain healthy. Part of a series on "The Body in Action", this volume contains commissioned photographs of children alongside detailed cutaway illustrations of the body in an identical pose. The illustrations are annotated to explain anatomical features and the processes that occur inside the body. There are "Did You Know" panels containing further facts; "Stay Healthy" panels containing tips on how to keep the body healthy; cartoons; listings of related Web sites and suggestions for further reading; a glossary; and an index.
