Synopsis

Now well established, this is a new edition of a highly illustrated colour textbook of approximately 240 colour photographs of male and female anatomy, with accompanying line drawings of deep structures. This is 'living anatomy' and is an invaluable guide for students wishing to correlate internal to surface anatomy. The line drawings also indicate common sites for injection of local anaesthetics, accessing of blood vessels and making incisions. The chapters are regionally organised and the text has an emphasis throughout on the clinical relevance of the anatomical detail.

About this title

Review:

"An extraordinary work of art that in my opinion deserves a prize. Structures are shown on anatomical figures by means of numbers, or outlines in the case of bones, or coloured green or brown for other organs. The author says that one of the objects is to illustrate palpable anatomy that 'can be seen, felt, moved or listened to' and should be 'supplemented by self examination.'"
