Description
"Moving" by Angela Royston explores how the human body moves, using microscopic and x-ray images to show readers what happens inside the body during movement. The book explains how muscles work, how bones stay strong, and how exercise affects muscles and joints. It also compares how human bodies move to how animals' bodies work, while teaching readers how to stay healthy and keep their bodies able to bend, throw, grip, walk, and run.
