The educational book covers topics such as health and disease in children, foods for growing kids, the importance of drinking water, cleanliness, dental health and family living.
Panworld Education is offering two interesting books on health at SIBF this year. A key factor in keeping diseases at bay is knowing all about the bacteria that can pervade our surroundings and bodies, and this is tackled in Meet Your Bacteria by Nicola Temple and Catherine Whitlock. It reveals the inner workings of the body and the importance of those usually helpful but often harmful microbes. The book also offers relevant information on the use of antibiotics in treating bacterial infections.
Taking another trip into what keeps individuals in good health is Immune: A Journey into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive by Philipp Dettmer, that takes readers on a journey through the fortress of the human body and its myriad defenses. It is a fun crash course in what is arguably the most important system in our body that is keeping us alive.
For those interested in the ins and outs of first aid and as a reference source for the exams, First Aid Cases for the USMLE series of books are available at Dar Al Hekmah. The powerful study guide offers 363 clinical cases with active-recall questions to walk readers and students through each first responder medical emergency, with high-quality illustrations.
