Product Description
Hillary M. Nunn here traces the connections between the London public's interest in medical dissection and the changing cultural significance of bloodshed on the early Stuart playhouse stage. Considering the playhouses' role within the social world of early modern London, Nunn explores the influence of public dissection upon the presentation of human bodies in well-known plays such as King Lear, as well as in a wide range of often neglected early Stuart tragedies like The Second Maiden's Tragedy and Revenge for Honour. In addition to dramatic texts, the study draws heavily on anatomy treatises and popular pamphlets of the time. Incorporating views of anatomy's significance from a wide range of sources, this study shows the ways in which early Stuart dramatists called upon Londoners' increasing fascination with anatomical dissection to shape the staging of their tragedies. ...

Real Human Remains
This atlas is helpful in the Anatomy Lab when we work with cadavers. At first, I read the title and thought that most of it will be with animal (cat, sheep and cow) body parts, but it isn't. During the practical tests we get to work with real stuff so no coloring of usual anatomy atlases is present. This one is very accurate and this is what you should expect going into Anatomy Lab. The only downside is that it does not cover crazy details.

Its better than I expected.
I bought a used book titled "A photographic Atlas of the Human Body" by Gerard Tortora. The book looks almost new, there are no writings or creased pages. I received the book in less than a week just as guaranteed.
The book has excellent photographs and graphics.

Get a REAL atlas
If you have the Tortora book, then you do not need this atlas. I would highly, highly recommend that you do not waste money on this atlas. Spend a few more dollars and get a copy of the Netter's atlas for students. Trying to use this atlas in my human anatomy lab/class (intro) has been nothing but annoying. Many important landmarks are overlooked and I have repeatedly had to refer to Netter's to figure out where landmarks are.Avoid this atlas and save your money and frustration.

Good complement for any Osteology class and affordable
This book is a very good companion if you are using osteology blocks with pictures in black and white. Is just 32 pages and the information is limited, however the pictures are great and allow you to see the little details that escape from black and white photos in other books. Did I mention the price? Is very affordable for struggling students like me.

A Must for any Pre-med and Med student
I'm a pre-med student, and when I first heard about this book from my professor, I was a bit skeptical that it would help me or anyone that wasn't already in med school. But when I got it, it was clear and easy to follow. The pictures weren't some badly drawn figurines, or a mess of grey, unidentifiable body parts, they were real photographs of the skeleton which were, thank goodness!, easy on the eyes. I might not be in med school yet, but I'm making sure I have this book with me. As a revision and reference book, this one is the greatest! ... Read more

Product Description
For the second edition of this guide for medical students, the authors have simplified some of the dissections in line with modern anatomy curricula, rearranged the order of several dissections, simplified the heart dissection chapter, and added a new section on the brain. Latin names not in common use have been omitted in the text, although the index retains both English and Latin entries, thus serving as a dictionary for terms in the book. The principal aim of the book is to teach the essentials of anatomy thoroughly through practice by the student. It reflects modern anatomy courses and eliminates unnecessary detail. ... Read more

Product Description
The authors provide a guideline for the anatomicaldissection of specimens from oral and sinonasal cavities, pharynx andlarynx. This is achieved through illustrations and colour photographsthat combine drawings of tumours at various anatomical subsitestogether with the respective operations, the specimens thus obtainedand the way to dissect these specimens. The dissection of surgicalspecimens from the upper aerodigestive tract is often difficult due tothe anatomically complicated nature of this area. Local environmentdictates routes of tumour spread and surgical margins at risk andthose differ for various subsites within this part of thebody. Moreover, adequate investigation of surgical specimens of theupper aerodigestive tract requires knowledge of the various types ofsurgical procedures. This should provide data that enable the surgeonto correlate preoperatively performed diagnostic imaging with themacroscopical findings postoperatively obtained. ... Read more

Highly recommended!
This book is essential for any pathologist handling the complex resectionspecimens from the head and neck area. It presents the reader with a wellthought-out plan to gain the best possible estimate of resection margins,relation to neighbouring structures et cetera. However, I highly recommendit to all head and neck surgeons as well, who are involved in cancersurgery. "Surgical Pathological Anatomy" will provide them withthe insight, needed to discuss all pathologic reports from this area. ... Read more
