152 pp. | Houghton | August, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-31584-3 $17.99
(2) YA This encyclopedic title encompasses a comparison of human and nonhuman blood; blood's anthropological importance; scientific and medical history, including ongoing discoveries; summary of the circulatory system; and examination of blood-feeding animals and legendary monsters. The diffuse interdisciplinary scope may not have broad appeal, but its organization and numerous illustrations and sidebars recommend the volume as a reference work. Websites. Bib., ind.
