These animals with various prosthetics are heroes to people with similar challenges.

"Discover how the science of bionics takes survival mechanisms from nature to create more efficient technology and save human lives. Simple language paired with descriptive images make this book perfect for reluctant readers."--Provided by publisher.

A junior in high school, Mira has come back from a car crash with experimental prosthetics and chips that are implanted directly into her brain which has enhanced her hearing, and her athletic abilities--which all seems great until her friends and boyfriend turn against her, she gets cut from the lacrosse team because of her "unfair advantages," and the people in her town start calling her a cyborg; but worst of all she feels emotionally detached from everything.

Describes the invention and development of wearable robots. Explores the technological challenges of development and the advances made. Includes glossary, websites, and bibliography for further reading.

Describes current and possible future advances in surgical techniques and the development of medical devices and artificial body parts.

Discusses the history, present use, and future of artificial body parts, including replacements for limbs, bone, skin, and organs.

Discusses the invention, function, and composition of artificial kidneys, eyes, ears, hearts, arms, legs, and other human replacement parts, and proposes some related legal and ethical problems.

Discusses current accomplishments in the field of replacing parts in the human body, including organ transplants, artificial organs and implants, and artificial joints and limbs.
