Hardworking diagrams and photographs complement colourful imagery and visual data generated by state-of-the-art tools such as powerful microscopes, ultrasound imaging, and molecular surveillance.Special-topic sidebars include: What Can Go Wrong; Breakthroughs; and Biographies. Fact boxes accent the narrative with such quick-hit information as "How Botox Works," "The origin of the term "'blue blood,'" and "Why are Joe Namath's knees are famous?" For easy, quick access, each chapter includes a glossary of terms pertinent to the system at hand. Valuable cross-referencing tools appear in every chapter to guide readers to related information throughout the book. A full appendix includes a bookwide glossary, timeline of medical discoveries, and biographies of key medical pioneers.
