"KNOW YOURSELF"
"Know yourself" is a philosophy with a very old history. Latin "Nosce Te Ipsum" is written in the entrance of the Temple of Apollo in Greece.
What is the simplest expression of "knowing yourself"? Philosophically, it is very difficult to simplify. Because knowing yourself is a long journey into your inner world.
Luckily, my goal here is not to take you on an arduous journey in a philosophical way. Although our aim is to know ourselves, we will take it on a more concrete level, that is, we will travel in the incredible and exciting world of our own biology.
I intended to prepare a Human Biology series for young people and "Nutrition and Digestion" is the first book of this series. The subjects in the book have been prepared with the support of many colorful pictures and a non-boring narrative has been tried to be used.
I wish this book will be useful to young people all over the world.
For more than 16 years I've worked in the Biology Department at Kahramanmaras University in Turkey. I taught "Human Physiology" for many years while conducting my scientific studies. It was one of my biggest dreams to prepare a book of Human Biology with lots of pictures for children and young people, and I finally had the opportunity to realize it. I hope that this colorful book will be beneficial for young people all over the world.
