Photographic anatomy of the human body

the long version

"It contains a wealth of terms of interest to medical specialists and physicians. Furthermore, it is useful to the general readers as well, as it illustrated the mysteries of the human body in an exceptionally vivid and life-like manner. Ever since its first publication in 1962, the Japanese editon of the atlas has been accorded favorable reception. In this new English edition, many of the monochrome pictures have been replaced by color photographs and parts of the text have been cosiderably revised. The atlas enables us to appreciate the general structure of the human body through vivid specimens enormously different from those valid illustrations seen in conventional textbooks."--Page v.
