How the Circulatory System Works

This book includes 10 lectures that are presented in a light, entertaining style, with each "lecture" building on the previous one- making it easy for the reader to comprehend the vastly complicated functions of the circulatory system.The length of the story has intentionally been kept short; it is neither exhaustively complete nor over-simplified. The story is enriched by details about basic biologic mechanisms and clever ways nature has solved a problem or achieved a result.

Robert E. Mehler is the author of How the Circulatory System Works, published by Wiley.
