  - Medical Atlas This book delivers just what is promised. Stunning photographs of the human body. It was a gift for someone who is vitally interested in the anatomy and physiology of humans and was a huge success. Rating:  - Anatomy Meets Technology in a Most Fascinating WayI own the paperback version of this book, and it is a wealth of anatomical information. First of all, I can tell all of my friends that I have a dead body in my library. But aside from the obvious humor I can get from owning this book, this is a truly wonderful work of computer and photographic technology. To have a visual reference of an entire human body is not only informative and fascinating, but useful for medical students, writers, forensic specialists, or just the plain curious. The book details an entire human body in a series of 1-mm thick slices from head to toe. There are three distinct views: Transverse, or a horizontal slice; Coronal, or a vertical slice from side-to-side; And Sagittal, or a vertical slice front-to-back. Each left-hand page features a close-up of a featured slice and a legend indicating where on the body the slice is located, and each right-hand page features 12 slices in smaller photos, each numbered in sequence so you can follow the path of organs and other bodily features. Without this book, the only way you could find something more like a cadaver is in the local morgue. I recommend this book highly. |
