Reproduction - Steve Parker

This book considers reproduction as a central feature of all living things and a hallmark of life itself. It looks at the reproductive systems of men and women, showing how the parts of each system link together for the process of reproduction. The book traces the stages in the development of a new individual, from the merging of male and female genetic material to birth and beyond.

The text explains these systems clearly. It also highlights the workings of the human body contrasted with the bodies of animals.There are case studies and features on health and medicine. Amazing colour photographs combine with original colour artwork.

Weblinks, with useful website addresses which link to sites with more information about a particular topic, are an added feature throughout the book.
