(4) YA True to series format, questions and answers are loosely grouped to cover muscle structure, operation, role in exercise, injuries, and diseases. A final catch-all section includes questions about tics, ear wiggling, and stem cell repair. Occasional photos, which aren't always relevant to content, are interspersed. Features sections explore tangential topics such as steroids, animal muscles, and effects of space travel. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.

(3) YA Questions ranging from "What Is Sexuality?" to "Is My Penis Too Small?" propel this welcome primer, which is equal parts science, coping manual, and reality check. Brynie's celebratory attitude makes it a standout of the genre: she's pro-masturbation, anti-homophobia, and anti-guilt without being anti-abstinence. Scattered throughout are sidebars, graphs, black-and-white photos, and diagrams. Directory, reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.

(4) YA Five chapters present questions and answers about nutrition, the digestive system and its disorders, and food safety. Short, related narratives (about fat cells, mad cow disease, chicken soup as a cold remedy) are included. Line drawings and too-dark black-and-white photos add little to the straightforward text. The book ends with tables of vitamins, minerals, diseases, and herbal supplements. Bib., glos., ind.

Line drawings and too-dark black-and-white photographs illustrate the straightforward text. Tables of endocrine glands, cells of the immune system, and important vitamins and minerals are included. Bib., glos., ind.

Six chapter groupings of questions and answers ("Questions That Should Come First," "Questions About Vaccines") are followed by short narratives on related topics, such as an epidemiologist's work and xenotransplantation. Occasional unexciting black-and-white photographs and drawings break up the straightforward text. Tables of immune system components are included. Bib., glos., ind.

(4) YA Seven chapters grouping questions and answers into categories such as "Learning and Memory" are followed by short features that explore in depth one aspect of the chapter, such as imaging techniques or music and the brain. The tone is unexciting, but the information is straightforward and factual. Black-and-white photos and diagrams illustrate the book. Bib., glos., ind.
