Regional Anatomy In Its Relation To Medicine And Surgery (Volume I)

By McClellan George 1849-1913 and George McClellan

Regional Anatomy in its Relation to Medicine and Surgery, Volume I, immerses the reader in human regional anatomy as practising surgeons once learned it: layer by layer, region by region, always tied to the realities of the operating theatre and clinic. Every structure has clinical meaning. George McClellan's meticulous descriptions and finely rendered illustrations make this regional anatomy textbook an illustrated anatomy atlas that works at once as a surgical anatomy reference, a gross anatomy dissection guide, and a reliable clinical anatomy study aid. Muscles, vessels, nerves and organs are presented in their living relationships, giving topographic human anatomy a clarity and immediacy that continues to serve anatomy for surgeons and to support serious study for medical students and trainees. First published in the late nineteenth century, this classic 19th century anatomy volume reflects the ambitions of American medical school anatomy, when careful regional description underpinned the rapid advance of modern surgery. As a historic surgical anatomy text, it bridges dissection room and ward, speaking both to today's practitioners and to readers fascinated by the craft and language of earlier medicine. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this volume is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it invites use at the desk as much as admiration on the shelf, appealing equally to clinicians, students, historians of medicine and collectors of landmark scientific works.
