Since it was first published at the turn of the century, Gray’s Anatomy has been the book of choice not only for medical students but painters, sculptors—just about anyone interested in knowing the body and its structure. A landmark in scientific writing, this seminal work includes concise, easy-to-read entries that clearly describe anatomical construction and functions. The classic engravings by H.V. Carter are masterpieces of accuracy and proportion, and are the perfect accompaniment to Dr. Gray’s prose.

          A standard reference for nearly 100 years, this book contains nearly everything you need to know about the human body—from the workings of the brain to the formation of the embryo: in short, from the body’s simplest parts to its most complicated systems. An enlightening voyage of discovery into the nature of human anatomy and an essential resource book for family health.
