ISBN: 1351469991
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 1016
Book Description
This is a unique, extensively illustrated dictionary of terms, people, events, and dates spanning the entire history of medicine. It is a monumental work of scholarship totaling some 700 double-column pages with a large number of rare and exceptional illustrations from many original sources painstakingly compiled over years of far-searching inquiry involving more than 5,000 books and hundreds of journals. It is a major resource of hard-to-find information about notable medical figures, instruments, conditions, procedures, and dates and a storehouse of captivating anecdotes and background material. The book contains a wealth of material for concise historical introductions to a broad range of subjects and is the sine qua non authority on both well and little known facts of medical history. With this single volume-an unprecedented tour de force representing more than 7,000 hours of exhaustive research-clinicians and researchers from all fields of medicine can quickly and easily find authoritative, detailed definitions and descriptions, with dates, of medical terms and of the people and events contributing to the development of medicine from earliest times to the present day. The entries range widely from such as abacterial pyuria to zygote, including Latin and Greek origins of terms, compact biographies with dates, eponymic information of all kinds, and rarely seen drawings and photographs of antique medical instruments and little-known conditions.

Skin and Bones
Author: Robert D. Cohen
Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1780884931
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
This is the last of a series of books describing the history, science, medicine, artistic representation and cuisine of various body parts. The first was Man and the Liver – the role of the liver, from early times to the present (Matador, December 2011), followed by NEPHROSAPIENS, dealing with the kidney (Matador, December 2011) andSPLANCREAS – spleen, pancreas, heart, lungs, brain and testicles (Matador, January 2013) and A Muscle Odyssey – history, evolution, embryology, anatomy, physiology, pathology of muscle and its roles in art and music (Matador, March 2013). Robert D. Cohen has divided Skin and Bone into separate sections for skin and bone, though they often overlap. Chapter 1 covers the evolution, anatomy and physiology of the skin. Chapter 2 details skin diseases, Chapter 3 is on the evolution, anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of bone and Chapter 4 informs the reader about bone diseases. The book also contains a glossary and an index. Like Robert’s previous books, Skin and Bone will appeal to readers interested in human biology.
