This engaging 4-volume set, written at the 6th- through 8th-grade reading level, examines our bodies' inseparable relationship with the environment.

If someone dropped you on the moon without an astronaut's equipment, what would happen? You'd die, of course. The human body depends on its environment. This engaging four-volume set examines our bodies' inseparable relationship with the environment. Each volume presents the parts of a particular body system and how they work, things that go wrong and how they're treated, how the environment affects the particular body system and impacts our health, controversial environmental issues (where applicable), and changes individuals and groups are making to fix environmental problems and restore health.

Attractive volumes on the human body and how its various systems interact, for good or ill, with the physical environment....these books provide an important perspective for students.
