Atlas of Anatomy - Reviews
"The eclectic publishing house, TASCHEN has released a truly extraordinary volume, Atlas of Anatomy and Surgery. Its 714 pages contain all the plates from the eight volumes produced by French anatomist Jean Baptiste Marc Bourgery and his primary artistic accomplice, Nicolas Henri Jacob. The original plates were printed using lithography, a technique that allows both remarkable detail and a lifelike softness when practiced by artists of Jacob`s caliber. His illustrations are so successful in capturing both the procedures and the sense of human life that the surgical plates—showing, for example, how to remove a leg step by step, so to speak—are not for the squeamish. On the other hand, the illustrations of specimens observed through the microscope are worth the journey all by themselves, and the book`s double foldouts take your breath away. The care with which this book has been produced, not to mention the fact that it was produced at all, is a fitting tribute to Bourgery, whose work never received the recognition he felt it deserved. The original work was without doubt a tour de force, and so, appropriately, is this new edition."The Wilson Quarterly, Washington, D.C.United States |

"Die Herausgeber, die beide Doktoren der Medizin sind, und mit einem 15-seitigen Aufsatz kompetent und gut verständlich in das Werk einführen, machen deutlich, dass die 467 Tafeln zur beschreibenden Anatomie sowohl von großem künstlerischen Wert sind als auch ihren als sehr hoch einzuschätzenden wissenschaftlichen Wert bewahrt haben."Universitas, StuttgartGermany |
