Applied Anatomy: The Construction of the Human Body considered in relation to its Functions, Diseases, and Injuries

Abstract

THIS work is perhaps the most comprehensive treatise upon applied anatomy in the English language. Its outstanding merit is the series of 631 figures, many of them in colour, drawn by Mr. Erwin F. Faber. They are remarkable, not merely for their diagrammatic clearness and accuracy, but also for their pleasing artistic qualities.

Applied Anatomy: The Construction of the Human Body considered in relation to its Functions, Diseases, and Injuries.

By Prof. Gwilym G. Davis. Fifth edition. Pp. x + 630. (Philadelphia and London: J. B. Lippincott Co., 1918.) Price 30s. net.
