In Your Head! Intriguing facts about the brain

Anna Hansson & Maria Andersson Keusseyan

Did you know that your brain controls everything that has to do with you and your body? It knows what you think and feel, and it works around the clock. Both when you are awake and when you are asleep. The brain makes sure your blood circulates through your body, that you digest your food and that you are able to breathe. It also makes you blink over 4 million times a year and makes your salivary glands produce 1-1.5 litres of saliva a day! Actually, the brain never really rests. It doesn’t have time for that, because it has to take care of your body. You may think that you can control some things yourself, but truth is that the brain is always involved. Your brain is you!

In Your Head is a non-fiction book about our most important organ: the brain. You can discover how our senses and other organs, our skeleton, our hair, our muscles and much more are connected to the brain and its many functions. It is colorful, fun and full of facts – a must-read for all inquisitive minds!
