Know Your Body: The Atlas of Anatomy

The prime purpose of the ATLAS OF ANATOMY is to remedy this absurd and quite unnecessary ignorance that most of us have about what makes us tick. Such a book is not just a desirable reference work but an absolutely essential feature of the home of every responsible person who seeks to get the most out of life for themselves and their children. And its publication at this time, when people are taking an increasing interest in personal management of their health affairs and coming to see the importance of the doctor-patient relationship being a partnership in which the best results develop when the patient is well informed, is particularly fortunate. But the ATLAS OF ANATOMY is not only of value as a family reference book--it can also be used for school and study purposes. And it is concerned not only with anatomy, but also with the functioning of the various parts of the human body as well as their structure: the whole realm of physiology. It is complete and comprehensive in its coverage; and there has been no talking down or oversimplification. The full facts are here, and many of the technical terms, just as doctors and nurses themselves learn and use them.
