5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Images, Thin Text, May 7, 2009
As a collection of anatomical images (the authors' intent, I believe), this book is extraordinary. Unfortunately, the accompanying text is too cursory, only giving the scantest amount of context to accompany the images. Singer's Short History of Anatomy from the Greeks to Harvey (despite its conspiratorial tone) and Sawday's The Body Emblazoned: Dissection and the Human Body in Renaissance Culture work well with this text to give a more-comprehensive view.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, September 4, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a very good overview of anatomy in art. Great reproductions. It has proven a very good source for images, and the writing is astute and informative.
