The Invision Guide to a Healthy Heart

This is an excellent visual experience that drives home the need for starting, and continuing, healthy heart practices. This is such a tremendous eye-opening experience that I gave a copy to the people who run the Heart Re-hab sessions at the local hospital - where I went for two months. I also gave one to my brother, who had a quadruple bypass about five years ago, because he was not taking as good care of himself as is loved ones wanted him to.

I took two Human Anatomy courses in college, and nothing I studied came close to the stunning visual detail of the cardiovascular system as presented in this book. And if you don't know the difference between an artery and a capillary, the Invision Guide provides an easy to follow crash course. I found the second half of the book to be especially informative -- the visuals explicitly show the benefits of a healthy lifestyle on your cardiovascular system vs. the damage done by unhealthy habits. My uncle recently had bypass surgery, and I wish this book was available years ago so he would have taken preventative measures.

this book is truely awe-inspiring! one gets hypnotized looking at the pictures, thinking, "i've got all that going on inside me--right now!" the visuals are so fantanstic and yet so truly real that they urge you to seriously reconsider your relationship with yourself. this book is a statement on the miracle that you are. it gives you a very deep sense of respect for your own heart and your own life. anyone who has a heart will fall in love with this one!

A Healthy Heart presents a view of heart functions that is easily understood by the general public. The vivid graphics are the key in making the story of the heart so fascinating. This is a great reference book that reads like a novel.

This is the third book of Alexander Tsiaras' that I have purchased. As with his other two books, the fascinating images tell the truly amazing story of the human animal. Thanks to Mr. Tsiaras, I will think twice about eating those salty, fatty foods I love - dammit!
