Great Presentation of Human Anatomy

I have looked high and low for a book that explains the anatomy and function of the human body in a technical way that is neither too basic nor complicated for a general reader like me who also needs to explain it to inquisitive children, and this is the book that really got everybody's attention in the family. It explains all the systems of the human body :1 Cells, skin and epithelium2 Skeletal System3 The Muscular System4 The Nervous System5 The endocrine System6 Cardiovascular System7 The Immune System8 The Respiratory System9 The Digestive System10 The Urinary System11 The Reproductive System12 The Human Life Cycle along with some disorders and modern medical treatment related to each system. The illustrations are very clear, impressive and greatly detailed; The information is up to date.
