Brand New and still in plastic wrapper.
Tied in to the BBC TV documentary series, and similarly narrated by the lugubrious-but-magisterial Lord Winston, The Human Body is an all-singing, all-dancing National Curriculum-compatible CD-ROM that serves as a guide to the subject that fascinates us above all others: ourselves.
The format is at first mildly perplexing, but on greater acquaintance hugely absorbing. Using the special Life Stages 'navigation ball' the viewer can scroll through six stages of human existence, from womb to wheelchair, taking in some highly involving videos, stills and sound recordings of important bodily processes, like blood circulation or hormone replacement. An authoritative medical dictionary allows you to understand difficult terms, or cherry-pick subjects of special interest; there's also a section, "YouWatcher", devoted to personal health, and offering dietary advice, lifestyle options, even a personal fitness programme based on questionnaires.
But perhaps the coolest bit is the interactive "Bodylabs" section. Here you can play some nifty games with, for instance, your on-screen sperm ("hit that ovary in sixty seconds"), follow the destiny of a meal as it's devoured and digested, and implant the egg you fertilised in the wall of a virtual uterus. You can also make your cyber-self hiccup, sneeze, cough, yawn and belch--a pretty much ideal antidote to that eaten-too-much-turkey post-Christmas dinner feeling. --Sean Thomas
Manufacturer's Description
