When we were still children learning to speak, did you ever have the question for a moment, what is in our bodies? How does the body work? There is such a book that not only combines interesting expressions, but also allows us to understand what our bodies are like from such statements, as if we are traveling in an interesting way and entering a mysterious world.
" Inside the human body " written by Cristina Juyente allows us to see this PhD in Biology at University of Barcelona, Master in Science Communication at University of Pompeu Fabra ( Barcelona ), Catalonia Members of the Science Communication Association, while integrating their professional knowledge, wrote this popular science book in an extremely interesting and easy-to-understand way, about the delicate operation of the human body, so as to better care for yourself.
As the illustrator is Cristina Los Santos, she draws illustrations for newspapers and children's magazines all year round, and cooperates with publishing companies in Spain and many other European countries. In 1998, he won the Second National Illustration Award from the Spanish Ministry of Culture. Because of his rigorous and interesting illustrations, we can appreciate the fun and rigorous knowledge content in the picture books. What can we discover from this?
1. Clever analogies, interesting simulated learning
For children, the human body is a place where it is difficult to see the various internal operations through our skin. At this level, the author divides us into 4 sections to understand, Tell us what the "high-efficiency engineering" in the human body is, what the "long-term engineering" in the human body is, how the "river" in the human body appears, and the upright posture of the human body.
In these four parts, we subdivide the human body, which originally seemed vague and I didn’t know where to start, into four aspects to consider. For example, the so-called high-efficiency engineering in the human body is actually to allow us to quickly do things around us. The responsive nervous system , when talking about this project, breaks it down into the conductor of the orchestra, which is the human brain, and thinking and memory, and human sleep, and our built-in clock, and built-in thermometer.
In such an expression, we can roughly understand what kind of concept and operation method it refers to from the keywords. It also allows us to better understand what parts of the human body are composed of under the guidance of the combination of pictures and text. We operate efficiently. Learning has become interesting because of this. Even if we adults read this book, we will feel that it is interesting and rigorous enough for us to study it carefully. For children, it is interesting and fun, and at the same time, it brings boring knowledge to the table. Just understand it.
2. Take care of your body and start by understanding your own uniqueness
When we take a closer look at what parts our body is made of and how it runs, are we not understanding ourselves in more detail? Those concepts and words that have been marked out in biology books have become an interesting experience and sharing in picture books. For example, when seeing the description of the brain, the illustration full of special meaning makes people laugh and laugh. The aftertaste is long.
said that the brain is the conductor of the orchestra, so it turns a child's brain into an action that can accommodate more children, telling us that it can control us to think, eat, listen to music, and even invent and create, etc. Such a clever drawing, The image of the brain as an orchestra conductor suddenly pops into people's minds, and this method of expression makes people even more curious. What other interesting parts and characteristics does it have? How can we take good care of it?
In such questions, we see how our body is composed, how we operate every day, and what we have experienced as we grow up. Topics that were originally boring and difficult to talk about in detail are revealed in the dancing skeleton drawings. Understand the principles of bones, understand what human muscles look like, and how our blood flows through our bodies like a river. Each topic is enough for us to study and discuss for half a day.
And these, in "Human Body", we silently looked at this guide to see the author's intention to give us popular science knowledge, it is entertaining and extremely accurate, and we walked into this mysterious but meticulous and serious How about some experience in a rigorous picture book?
