Joseph Midthun

Joseph Midthun is an educational author who helps turn science ideas into visual, cartoon-format reference books for young readers. Cells to Organ Systems offers the most direct route into his work, moving from the body's smallest structures toward connected systems. The Skeletal and Muscular Systems narrows that view to support and movement, while Animal Structure and Classification shifts the comparison across species. Animal Life Cycles follows change over time and makes a useful companion to the classification title. Readers more interested in physical science can choose Electricity before Force and Motion, using the pair to move from one focused concept to a broader account of interactions and movement. A balanced path begins with Cells to Organ Systems, continues with The Skeletal and Muscular Systems, and then turns to Animal Life Cycles. Electricity provides a separate entry for readers who prefer physical science to biology.
