A fully illustrated guide to anatomy, physiology and medicine.

More and more people are conscious about understanding and improving their health. An essential part of this process is learning the basic anatomy and physiology of the human body, but technical medical texts are impenetrable to most readers.

Guide to the Human Body is an ideal reference -- a fully illustrated, simple-to-grasp guide to human anatomy and physiology. This colorful handbook clearly explains biological processes and systems such as:

• Skeletal and muscular systems
• Nervous system
• Glands and hormones
• Cardiovascular system, tissues and organs
• Immune system
• Respiratory system
• Digestive and urinary system
• Reproductive system

There is also a concise A-Z medical encyclopedia that describes and explains over 600 medical conditions and terms. With 250 color diagrams, Guide to the Human Body is an outstanding pocket-sized reference book.

Italy and art are synonymous. When either is mentioned, images of Etruscan sculptures and Renaissance frescoes come to mind, along with extraordinary architectural treasures that bridge the centuries. Even today, these powerful reminders of a distant past continue to influence contemporary Italian art and design. With Zero to Infinity: Arte Povera 1962-1972, the Walker Art Center and the Tate Modern have undertaken an ambitious project - to represent an important yet seldom seen period in Italian modern art. As the U. S. tour sponsor of Zero to Infinity: Arte Povera 1962-1972, the Italian Trade Commission is proud to share the Walker Art Center's enthusiasm in illustrating the evolution of artistic expression in Italy as reflected in all aspects of Italian life. The Zero to Infinity: Arte Povera 1962-1972 tour sponsorship is part of a new campaign planned by the Italian Trade Commission and several manufacturers' associations, and created under the auspices of the Italian Ministry of Industry and Foreign Trade. This new campaign, 'Life in 'I' Style,' focuses on the successful combination of Italian creativity, traditional craftsmanship, and industrial production.
