Although the United States will always play a great role in the Far East because we are a rich and powerful Pacific nation, we have learned, one can hope, that we can no longer attempt to play a dominant role; we can no longer reward and punish as we see fit. The Far East must make its own destiny. We can help with technical advice, as a trading partner, and as a friend, but the destinies of the Asian nations are in their own hands. Japan and China have great problems and great potential. On a more modest scale so do the Philippines and Korea and Vietnam. Their future is up to them.

This eye-catching book takes readers on a fantastic voyage through humanbiology using digital illustration and cutting-edge scans and imagery. Anintroductory chapter details the evolution of Homo sapiens and reveals the body's building blocks—its chemical elements, molecules, and cells. A section on the body in action examines the skeleton and the muscles. The final chapter explains how cells join together to form the organs and body systems that keep us fueled, aware of our surroundings, and free of disease.
