Gray's Anatomy

Résumé du livre

Written in the 1850s when its author was a young doctor, Gray's Anatomy was the most comprehensive and accessible medical textbook of its time. This edition comprises an abridged version of the classic 1860 text - the last to be published during Gray's lifetime - and the masterly wood-block illustrations that ensured the runaway success of the original book.

A national and international treasure, the original Gray's Anatomy is a pleasure to dip into or to consult in depth. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the history of medicine or in the amazingly complex machine that is the human body.
