Description

Your eyes help you see
colors and shapes.
Your ears help you hear --
and also enable you to keep
your balance.
Did you ever wonder
how these important organs work?

Acclaimed science writer Seymour Simon has the answers, presented here in his award-winning style. His clear, fluid discussion of the eye and how it sees is accompanied by astonishing photographs that show the cornea, retina, and other eye parts. Diagrams are included for clarity, and optical illusions demonstrate the role the brain plays in seeing. The functions of the ear, which is pictured in close-up images and diagrams, are also carefully explained.

Seymour Simon tells you what you need to know. He makes it interesting by sharing both the facts and his sense of wonder at the amazing workings of the human body.
