From the joining of male and female sex cells inside a woman's body, through birth and childhood to the gradual process of ageing, the story of a human life is awe-inspiring.
'Bodyscope: Life Story' reveals how genes and chromosomes contain the instructions for life, and are responsible for the limitless differences that make each of us an individual. It examines the male and female reproductive systems and uncovers the incredible changes that take place in a woman's body during pregnancy. Readers can trace the development of a newborn baby as it grows into a toddler, reaches its teens and changes into an adult with the onset
of puberty - a process that equips every human with the reproductive system necessary for the life cycle to continue.
