Gr 6-8-Through clear texts, many useful diagrams, extensive glossaries, and interesting timelines of humankind's knowledge of muscles and nerves, the Silversteins have once again made the science of life accessible to young readers. The first title begins with locomotion of animals and plants in water, air, and on land, and then moves on to the human muscular system. Disorders and diseases are discussed, as are exercise and rehabilitation. The second title covers the specialization of each cell and explains the parts of the brain and what they control. Memory, intelligence, and how drugs affect the mind are also discussed. The full-color photographs are quite small in both books, but sidebars are interesting and well placed. The ``How Our Bodies Work'' series (Silver Burdett, 1988) offers similar information for the same audience.-Kathleen McCabe, East Meadow Public Library, NY
