Product Description
For thousands of years, the human body and its workings were a mystery, even to the most sophisticated civilizations, and the treatment of disease was the province of anecdotal medicine at best. In the 15th century, artists and anatomists began to dissect cadavers to discover how the human body actually operates. These early investigations were to form the basis of modern medical science.This lavishly illustrated book chronicles the remarkable history of anatomical illustration from the Renaissance to the digital Visible Human project of today.
