Lavishly illustrated anatomy books have long been prized by artists, physicians, and other educated readers. Human Anatomy is the first authoritative history of anatomical illustration to include the most recent scientific discoveries and digital imagery. The book includes concise biographies of the great anatomists of history, as well as superb reproductions of anatomical renderings by Leonardo da Vinci, Vesalius, and many others, showing how science and art worked harmoniously to disseminate an evolving understanding of the human mechanism and how it operates. Spanning five centuries, Human Anatomy is an invaluable addition to the libraries of artists, doctors, and general science readers everywhere.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on History of Human Anatomy

    Very nice book to look & read about centuries of pictures on Anatomy. Well bound, so repeated usage will probably not cause it to fall apart. A must-read or must-have for anyone with an even remote interest in Anatomy and its history. At its price it may be too expensive in the hardcover edition for students, but there are (few) cheaper softcovers still available.
    Fabulous book!

    5.0 out of 5 stars From the 1500s and beyond!

    This was a great anatomy book. It starts with plates and viva sections from the 1500s and goes up until now with some digital images. The drawings are very graphic. Some are very disturbing and down right creepy. Several show the fetus, the intestines and many skeletons at all angles. A fascinating book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Images, Thin Text
    Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2009
    As a collection of anatomical images (the authors' intent, I believe), this book is extraordinary. Unfortunately, the accompanying text is too cursory, only giving the scantest amount of context to accompany the images. Singer's Short History of Anatomy from the Greeks to Harvey (despite its conspiratorial tone) and Sawday's The Body Emblazoned: Dissection and the Human Body in Renaissance Culture work well with this text to give a more-comprehensive view.
