I’m looking for living human anatomy books for my 14 yo ds. We already have Body by Design & Phineas Gage . Any other recommendations? Another bio would be great as he’s extrememly motivated by those such as Phineas.
Thanks ~ Heather
When you say bios, do you mean scientists who made discoveries regarding the human anatomy?
BTW, did you know that Fulbright has the Physiology and Human Anatomy Exploring Creation book finished.

Hi Rachel!
Yes, a biography of a person’s life dealing with human anatomy or a scientists account of discoveries – either would be great. Also, I know about Jeanies book but thought it might be too young for my 14yo. What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks! Heather
Heather,
I have the Fulbright Anatomy book and it is significantly more advanced than the astronomy book we used this year. We had planned to use the Anatomy in our CM co-op w/ 3rd-8th graders, but decided that would be a poor decision considering the depth of the anatomy book. I would say that it is definitely more of a middle school book than the others; it is longer and has much more detail. You can see samples at http://www.cbd.com.

I’ll give a try here. I found a series of books called the “Immortals of Mankind”; there is a collection for scientists you may like to peruse, among others:

I’m thinking, Leonardo De Vinci, Pasteur. There’s a new series about G-dly scientists called: Champions of Science. Another bio that tie in well is of the man who developed the x-rays-“The Mysterious Rays of Dr. Rontgen” by Beveraly Cherman. I also found how to get to specific stuff on Anatomy at Christianbook to browse through. Go to their site, click ‘homeschool’, then ‘science’, then ‘anatomy’; whalah! Several things to look through.
I found this one that looks real good from master books: “Creation: Facts of Life” by Gary Parker; found it at Amazon cheaper and w/free s/h.
Perhaps a book called “The Genesis of Germs” would tie in nicely.
I know of a DVD called:”Fearfully and Wonderfully Made” done by an anatomist. Another called “The Code of LIfe” concerning DNA.
That’s about all I could find; it’s a skimpy subject.
HTH!

This may be WAY too difficult, but thought I’d mention it.
There is a Human Anatomy Colouring book available that is excellent. That said, I think it is often used by university students etc – it gets extremely detailed. But maybe some of it is at a simpler level…
Have you seen the David Macaulay book, The Way We Work? It’s not a biography, but it presents anatomy in a very interesting and readable way.
I agree with rachel about Leonardo DaVinchi. We did a study on him with anatomy when my son was five and he absolutely fell in LOVE with the whole thing. We even got into dissecting brains and sharks that year to get the hands on aspect. While I think he took away limited knowledge, it is still knowledge and you can always do it again when they get older.
Thanks so much, ladies! Your suggestions should keep my ds rolling for awhile. He’s into biomedical engineering right now, so these will be helpful.
Blessings, ~ HeatherI would have to agree that Jeannie’s new Anatomy is more advanced than the others. We are using it this upcoming year with a 11 year old and looking forward to it.
Blessings

Diane or Christi or anyone else who has had Jeannie’s new Anatomy book in your hands…….would you use it with an eighth grader? I know that they say they are for grades 1-6. Thanks for any input!
Blessings, ~ Heather
