Gray’s anatomy- the anatomical basis of clinical practice,expert consult

摘要

In 1858 Gray and Carter published the first edition of thiswonderful textbook. The new one is the 40th edition and the 150year anniversary edition. I have a well used old copy of Graysanatomy which was, curiously, also an Anniversary edition. It isa large book with very small print and crowded diagrams printedon fine but expensive paper. Looking something up was alwayshard even when ones eyesight was good but now requires a brightlight and reading glasses. There was always a sense of achievementin finding the answer to a question. It is the gold standard thoughthere are a host of easier to read books around. Well anatomydoes not change so when I was asked to review the latest editionI expected much the same.
