Description
HP Newquist takes young readers on an engaging tour of the world of blood, from ancient history to modern science-with an occasional trip to the very strange side of the most important tissue in our bodies. Whether the tales of vampires, medieval medical practices, and Mayan sacrificial rites captivate or terrify, this comprehensive investigation into blood's past and present will surely enthrall. And if this account is a little bloodcurdling, well, that's half the fun!
