| Summary/Abstract |
After the last person has gone from the earth, sheep take over the world, make the same mistakes as man, and eventually they too disappear. This dystopian novel looks at sheep living human lives. It follows the history of humans from the caves to the industrial age except this occurs with sheep after all humans have died off. It does a great job illustrating the impact that humans have had on themselves and their environment while also showing the brutality and gruesome nature of industry. Though this book is easy to read, it seems to be written for an older audience because the ideas are mature and gruesome. A discussion could be derived from reading this book as it might get people into reading dystopian novels and thinking about the human effect on the world. This might get students into becoming advocates for some cause.

Macaulay leads readers on a highly visual journey through the basics workings of the human body. In seven comprehensive sections he and coauthor Richard Walker take us from the cells of which we are formed to the individual systems they build. Each double-page spread explores a different aspect of this complex structure while gradually constructing as straightforward an overview as possible of the links between the inner workings of the body and the world outside.
