The Oxford Textbook of Functional Anatomy is a book designed to meet the needs of today's medical students, who must gain a sound working knowledge of the structural basis of the body function in a much shorter time than the students of the past. The modern student must also be able to relate this understanding to modern clinical imaging techniques. Specialized training in detailed anatomy is now recognized as a graduate course and is also taken by interns in surgery and radiology. Anatomy must be taught in such a way that it can be rapidly recalled during clinical training and can provide a basis for future study. The revised edition of this textbook reflects all the changing needs of the student. Changes from the previous edition include: an updated chapter on medical imaging to keep pace with the technology of magnetic resonance; expanded sections on the musculoskeletal system and living anatomy; and a brand new chapter on stance and locomotion. This book encourages the student to observe this subject precisely and to record the structure and the macroscopic functions of the living body. The majority of observations are made with the eye or the hand, complemented by modern imaging techniques, the study of prosections, and a limited amount of dissection.

Despite changes in the undergraduate medical curriculum, a sound understanding of how the body is built and functions remains fundamental to all aspects of medicine, not least the interpretation of the products of the new imaging systems. Most diagnoses have to be arrived at from an examination of the intact living body and so an understanding of the functional anatomy of the living body and how it should be examined, remains a critical skill for practitioners. The second edition of the Oxford Textbook of Functional Anatomy: Musculoskeletal System considers changes in the medical curriculum and pays careful attention to whether or not some item of information is likely to be helpful either in aiding the understanding of the principles of body structure or in everyday clinical practice. As a result, all guidance on dissection and the origins and insertions of individual muscles, on which students in the past have spent a disproportionate amount of time, have been largely removed from the text and are indicated instead of the relevant illustrations. Emphasis on the anatomy of the living subject has been increased, and to underline the increasing importance of non-invasive imaging, there are more computerized tomograms and magnetic resonance imaging. Many of these have been merged with the text in addition to separate subsections which present them in ordered sequence.

From its earliest beginnings, the Catholic Church has cared for the sick and dying of the world as an extension of the healing ministry of Jesus. As a natural consequence, Catholics have regularly addressed moral issues relating to health care long before the term "bioethics" was coined. Beginning with a deeply nuanced, holistic understanding of the human person as their foundation, Catholic scholars have developed a person-centered ethic with which to approach ethical dilemmas that is understandable and defensible in the light of natural human reason, yet which is compatible with the teachings and doctrine of the Church―emphasizing the harmony of faith and reason within the Catholic moral tradition.
Medicine, Health Care, and Ethics adds to this rich tradition with a collection of contemporary essays that represent the very best efforts of current Catholic scholarship in the field of health care and medical ethics. The book begins with an introductory section that explains the basic foundations of the personalist approach to ethics and its development within Catholic thought. The remaining parts of the book address timely topics such as artificial reproduction, contraception, abortion, euthanasia, genetic engineering, stem cell research, cloning, and health care reform. Each author brings a fresh perspective and a wealth of knowledge on these issues that will benefit Catholics as well as non-Catholics. With general overviews for each section, and topic-specific bibliographies to guide further study, this volume is designed to provide a greater understanding and deeper appreciation of the Catholic perspective on health care and medicine for both newcomers and seasoned students of bioethics alike. In today's culture of pluralism and diversity, the Catholic tradition has much wisdom to contribute to society's consideration of contemporary problems in medicine and health care. This collection of essays is offered in the spirit of open and honest dialogue for all who are seeking to understand that tradition.
 ABOUT THE EDITOR:
 John F. Morris, associate professor of philosophy at Rockhurst University, has published numerous articles on the subject of medical ethics. In addition to Morris, contributors to the volume are Benedict M. Ashley, O.P., Gregory R. Beabout, John Berkman, Clarke E. Cochran, Catherine Green, John F. Kavanaugh, S.J., William E. May, Kevin O'Rourke, O.P., Michael D. Place, Jeanne Schindler, and Brendan Sweetman.
 PRAISE FOR THE BOOK:
 "Morris intends his book to be used as a supplementary text for courses in bioethics and by members of hospital ethics committees. A number of the volume's features recommend it for these audiences. Each of the 5 parts of the book has an introduction that is informative, lucid, and relatively comprehensive. These introductions offer an overview of the issue or issues addressed by the essays and briefly describe each presentation. Unlike so many collections of multiauthored essays, this volume's offerings are consistent in quality and are accessible to the readers for whom they are intended. Finally, each part of the book concludes with a short but helpful bibliography for further reading or research. These qualities of the book recommend it not only for the audiences for which it is intended, but also for all educated laypersons, clergy, and health care professionals who are interested in learning more about a Catholic approach to a variety of controversial issues in bioethics. . . . In all likelihood, readers will also come away with some valuable insights and wisdom contained in the Catholic tradition and will acquire a better appreciation of the contribution of "Catholic voices" to debates in bioethics. The excellent section introductions and the high quality of each of the essays make this volume a must for anyone wishing to better understand a traditional Catholic approach to bioethics."― Ronald P.
