Milestones in the history of science, Harvey's discovery of the circulatory nature of blood flow and function of the heart released medical science from prevailing classical theory and paved the way for an exact anatomical science. He maintains, nonetheless, the traditional view of Nature's ultimate purpose and warned against reducing life by materialism. This volume also includes translations of The Anatomy of Thomas Parr (1635) by Arnold Muirhead, and Harvey's Last Will and Testament.

Art and Technique of Sumi-e Japanese Ink-Painting explores the ancient technique Japanese ink painting orsumi-e. The art of sumi-e, which literally means "ink picture," combines calligraphy and ink-painting to produce brush painting compositions of rare beauty. This beauty is paradoxical-ancient but modern, simple but complex, bold but subdued-no doubt reflecting the arts spiritual basis in Zen Buddhism. At the same time sumi-e painting is firmly rooted in the natural world, its various techniques serving as the painter's language for describing the wonders of nature. Buddhist priests brought the ink stick and the bamboo-handled brush to Japan from China in the sixth century, and over the past fourteen centuries Japan has developed a rich heritage of ink-painting. Today the artistry ofsumi-e can be admired in books, reproductions and museums, but the techniques of the art have been much less accessible. As a result, little information has been available to the inquisitive Western artist attracted to Japanesesumi-e. This book, designed to help remedy that deficiency, is the product of the author's study with her teacher, Ukai Uchiyama, master calligraphist and artist. It contains extensive explanations of technique as well as detailed painting instructions and diagrams.
