Review:

Are you feeling healthier, smarter, happier and safer? If so, a lot of that happiness might just be as a result of science. You’re probably familiar with the subdiaphragmatic pressure move right? Well, it’s better known as the Heimlich maneuver named after surgeon Henry Heimlich. If you had to give up one of your five senses, which one would you choose? During a recent survey most would not give up their sight. No worries, if you’ve been diagnosed with cataracts you can thank Dr. Patricia Bath for finding a way to remove them. How is your heart beating these days? No need to worry help is on the way. Thanks to Dr. James Jude, the CPR technique is a good way to help jump start your heart.

Author Alan Katz has selected a few of his favorites to feature within this handy guide for kids.
