Add to basketPaperback. The hand demonstrates the history of the human race and also an individual person. Needless to mention here, the hand has played the most important role since human evolution. It is indispensable in human lives. The hand with accurate movements and delicate senses serves to smooth our daily life and complex social activity. Its quick and precise motions amaze us as if there is a mind in it. Even in the new era of innovative technologies such as IoT (Internet of Things) and autonomous robots with AI, we still wonder if such precise and clever machine as the hand could be made in the future. The human hand is an invaluable and unapproachable gift from the nature. It is our wish to learn the precise structure of the hand.Hand surgery has progressed rapidly in recent years, and an impaired hand can be treatable to a large extent. Any medical staff who participates in treating the hand should know its exact anatomy. On top of static structure of a cadaver hand, anatomical knowledge of a functioning hand is mandatory. The hand is not an inorganic machine, but a living organ. It is necessary to understand why the structure has come to the present shape and aligned in the hand.Anatomy of the hand is sometimes tedious for medical students who have to memorize numerous tissues with complex academic terminology. The main object of this book is to learn the dynamic anatomy of the reader's own hand rather than that of a cadaver's static dead hand. This book would serve as an oasis for the medical students to refresh their interest in the hand anatomy.This book was published primarily as a reference for hand surgeons. But, it became popular among orthopedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, and surgeons in other fields. Thereafter, hand-therapists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists gradually increased in number as the readers. Many robot researchers, teachers for children, and some musicians who were keenly interested in the hand anatomy joined the group. It was an unexpected pleasure and happiness for the author, who wishes the contribution of this book to the progress of hand surgery as well as for the promotion of world peace.
