Gray's Anatomy: The Anatomical Basis of Clinical Practice, 41e

Product Information

Dissecting unclaimed bodies from workhouse and hospital mortuaries through the Anatomy Act of 1832, the two worked for 18 months on what would form the basis of the book. It's a bit funny rating a reference work in anatomy, but if there ever was a five-star anatomy book it is of course the classic Gray's. Moreover, the second of the College’s two copies of the 1st edition (Copy B) appears to be extremely rare and possibly unique among library copies in that it remains in its embossed brown cloth binding, just as it was purchasable for 28 shillings for use by a student in 1858. Three years later, Gray died from smallpox, but his legacy was ensured, and his great book has never been out of print since. I have always wanted to be a surgeon in the future, so I knew this book would be a perfect summer read!

In Dan Brown's 2013 novel Inferno, Sienna Brooks, as a child, reads all 1,600 pages of Gray's Anatomy in ten days. P>The result is a more complete, practical and engaging resource than ever before, which will prove invaluable to all clinicians who require an accurate, in-depth knowledge of anatomy.

Includes over 300 clinical photographs, including radiological images depicting surface anatomy and common clinical applications of anatomic knowledge. Published as part of the "Leatherbound Classics" series; you can see all our available titles in this range here. P>The accompanying eBook version is richly enhanced with additional content and media, covering all the body regions, cell biology, development and embryogenesis – and now includes two new systems-orientated chapters. The text, while it explains complex connections and concepts in their Latinate terminology, is in fact beautifully simple, straightforward sentences in logical sequence. Written to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Gray’s anatomy, Richardson immerses the reader into the Dickensian back streets of mid-Victorian London to reveal the chance encounter of two very different men of medicine whose unlikely collaboration launched a masterpiece.

Henry Gray originally produced Anatomy: Descriptive and Surgical as a dissection manual, but his work, known today as Gray’s Anatomy, is now regarded as the most comprehensive account of current anatomical understanding available. Gray’s Anatomy, descriptive and surgical was conceived, written, illustrated, and published in three years’ time, appearing in 1858, when Gray was 31. It was published just prior to the American Civil War and was available during that conflict, being of timely importance to have an impact on medical military field care of the grievously wounded brave soldiers in both armies, needing the best available care after battles. George’s Hospital, London (then situated in Belgravia, now in Tooting), and he is described by those who knew him as a most painstaking and methodical worker, and one who learnt his anatomy by the slow but invaluable method of making dissections for himself. A first edition copy of Gray’s Anatomy, authored by 19 th Century St George’s lecturer, Henry Gray, has appeared on Antiques Roadshow.Like Albert's "Molecular Biology of the Cell", it's a superlative textbook that every home should have at least one copy of.
