Summary: |
Utilizing computerized color photography, the author describes and illustrates in amazing detail the parts and functions of the human brain. He mentions the process in a Photographer's Note on the copyright page. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Learners may want to develop a glossary of terms as they learn about brain function. Non-fiction response strategies like Herringbone would work well with the material. Teachers can extend the lesson to include health issues such as strokes. Because the author refers often to the photographic technology, students might want to pursue further research, perhaps with the help of a medical school in the area. Compare and contrast similar technology used in the author's book on the solar system, Star Walk. |
