Description: The beautiful and revolutionary work of Andreas Vesalius has long been regarded as a milestone in the history of medical science and art. The great 16th- century physician not only established the basis of modern anatomy but created eloquent drawings of great scientific exactness and published them in books that were marvels of elegant organization and printing. Those drawings have been reproduced here in all their beauty and precision. -- Publisher description
