Color Atlas and Textbook of Human Anatomy 2. [antikvár]

From the Foreword to 1st Edition of Volume 2 Changes in medical education have led to a shortening of the preclinical studies and to major changes in their emphasis. Knowledge of anatomy in particular now tends to be gained mostly from formal lecture courses and examinations place little reliance on practical work, such as dissection. Under these circumstances, there is a danger that the learning of anatomy will become just repetition of lessons without any visualisation of the facts. However, anatomical knowledge can only live through visual understanding. This pocket book is brought to life mainly by its illustrations. I thank Herr G. Spitzer who has produced them. The book originated from knowledge gained by teaching students. It is meant principally for medical students and the interested lay reader, whose place has been taken by Renate and Matthias.
