This book should "spark" the imagination of any K-12 child

This is a nicely illustrated, clearly written book. . . . It does a good job of simply yet accurately presenting complex concepts such as how nerve impulses are transmitted and the electrical stimulus behind generating a heartbeat. It discusses the development of the pacemaker by an electrical engineer named Earl Bakken (the founder of Medtronic Inc.)This book would make an excellent addition to middle school and high school libraries.
