About This Item
New York: Harcourt, Brace and World, 1956. Small 8vo size tan clothbound hardcover with dust jacket; 137 pages with black and white illustrations throughout From jacket: "In clear and readable prose (the author) explains how the five senses report on the world around us. In talking about sight, for example, he describes the various parts of the eye and how they transform light waves into nerve impulses. He explains such things as what causes people to be color-blind or near-sighted; how a camera resembles the eye; and, with the help of "moving" drawings, how motion pictures work. Similar information is given on all the senses including the important inner ones of hunger and thirst. Finally there is a chapter on the center of all this activity, the brain." The author, a science teacher, wrote several "scientific" books for young people. Edgewear, a quarter inch tear to back of dust jacket; overall light wear to jacket. There is a remainder mark and some light soil to top of book. . Cloth. Very Good/Good. Illus. by Schrotter, Gustav. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
