Wolf-Heidegger's atlas of human anatomy = Wolf-Heideggers Atlas der Anatomie des Menschen . Vol. 1: Systemic anatomy, body wall, upper and lower limbs

The first edition was published in 1954 as Atlas of Systematic Human Anatomy; this enduring work has been published under the current title since 1990. The impressive anatomical paintings remain the heart of the work, and they are complemented by anatomical sections and radiological images placed side by side for comparison. The text is in both English and German, and the current terminologica anatomica is used for labeling (an English nomenclature edition will also be published). The two volumes are devoted, respectively, to systemic anatomy, body wall, upper and lower limbs (v.1) and head and neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, CNS, eye, and ear (v.2). Dental students in particular will appreciate expanded coverage of head and neck. Commonly used eponyms are indexed. Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
