Schlossberg's work gives new meaning to the word illustration... An excellent basic reference for functional anatomy.
Provides an easily understood introduction to the inner workings of the human body. With emphasis on function as well as structure, the beautifully illustrated guide maps anatomical systems and organs.
Originally composed for medical students, this thorough reference guide is basic enough to help lay readers understand how human organs work and what happens when they don't. Unlocking vertebrae and cutting off layers of skin, the numerous color illustrations are anything but pretty, but they capture, with detail rare in introductory works, the interconnecting functions that help the human body survive.
The illustrations—most in color—are scientifically accurate and artistically beautiful... The text is uniformly of high quality.
The artwork is first-class... A book which anyone with an interest in anatomy would be pleased to own.
