Gr 7 Up-A superbly comprehensive and appealing treatment of the physical structure, functions, diseases, and care of skin. Hair, nails, aging, effect of sun exposure, cancer, and even tattooing and face-lifts are included in a question-and-answer format that is useful for reports or general information. Black-and-white illustrations, charts, graphs, photographs, and drawings enhance the text, and the question headings add further visual appeal. The writing is clear and concise yet thorough.
