Gray's Pocket Anatomy Book

The leg bone's connected to the hip bone, and so on. For many of us, anatomy can seem intimidating and unrewarding, but the right teacher can clear such feelings away in a heartbeat. Our fascination with our bodies is a powerful force, and once we start looking, we find that beauty is much more than skin-deep. It so happens that the right teacher can take the form of a book. Gray's Anatomy is one of those few titles that practically everybody has heard of, and with good reason--it is a scientific and artistic triumph. Not just a dry index of parts and names, Gray's lets the natural beauty and grace of the body's interconnected systems and structures shine forth from the page. Using sumptuous illustrations and clear, matter-of-fact descriptions, Dr. Gray unleashed a classic on the world more than 100 years ago. Its clarity and usefulness keep it in print today. Whether you want to understand yourself or others, knowledge of our physical parts and how they fit together is essential. Gray's Anatomy provides that information in a simple, timeless format that cleanly dissects a body of knowledge grown over centuries. This book will not only fill the needs of people in the medical profession, but will please artists and naturalists as well. --Rob Lightner Read More

  • Product Description

    No one can look at the drawings of Gray's Anatomy and not come away with a feeling of awe about the miracle of the human body in all its complex functioning—what Isaac Asimov has called "the most magnificent machinery in the world."
    Gray's Anatomy leads the field in anatomic description, both for medical professionals, who still refer to it, and for laymen who use it as art, information, and an aid to understanding their bodies. Gray's Pocket Anatomy incorporates in a concise form the major elements of Gray's classic text and illustrations. All the major systems and organs of the body are represented, with almost 200 of the masterful illustrations from the original text, all fully indexed for quick reference.
