Anatomy of the Guinea Pig - Cooper and Schiller, September 24, 2009
This review is from: Anatomy of the Guinea Pig (Commonwealth Fund Publications) (Hardcover)
This remarkable book - I actually still have the copy I bought when it was first published in 1975 - was at the time the only comprehensive treatise on the anatomy of the guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) ever done. It's illustrated entirely by meticulous drawings "done utilizing both the technique and the paper devised by Max Brödel... done by brushing carbon particles in varying densities on a specially prepared paper, Ross Board 00." This is a very beautifully made book. I would recommend it for libraries of research institutions working with guinea pigs, and of medical illustration schools where Brödel's techniques are still taught. It may need to be accessioned as a rare book.
