B. Albinus (1747) Slide 10 Refined the work of Vesalius, well thought of by this time, note the fineness of the etching More from Dover Albinus on Anatomy With 80 original plates

Specola Felix Fontana (1771) Slide 11 and 12 These make beautiful coffee table books available from Italy there are two volumes Le Cere del Museo dell’Instituto Fiorentino di Anatomia Patologica (the weak of the two – be warned this volume should not be viewed before eating and the second Le Cere Anatomiche della Specola. This later has label pages to accompany, a splendid way to learn anatomy. Put on Christmas list

F. Wynn Kapit (1977) Anatomy Coloring Book Slide 21 I like it, I could never color within the lines a Barnes and Noble purchase

G. Gosling (1990) Human Anatomy Slide 22 An excellent photographic atlas, The other standard is McMinn, I like it better because it doesn’t have the image obscured with hundreds of arrows.

H. Clinical Anatomy Made Ridiculously Simple Goldberg does it with the help of a spider named Willis (get it Circle of Willis of cerebral circulation)! What a well done paperback likewise one on Neuroanatomy. I think the pharmacology is dated, but a terrific book Slide 23 and Slide 24

V. Catalogs Worth Getting (Never pay for a catalog no matter what they say)

A. Anatomical Chart Company – Wonderful products not bad on price, nice to have around just before Christmas – gift ideas for you Freight charges are a bit high but I see a free shipping offer http://anatomical.com/Default.asp?

B. Nasco – Lots of interesting stuff, at one time they had these cadaver models done in very life-like polymer. Interesting models, there is this picture of a male catheterization model with three beautiful co-eds admiring something. I hope they paid them plenty, we’ve dealt with Nasco a nice vendor http://www.enasco.com/prod/Home

C. Health Edco Folks from down in Texas, I’ve bought a breast model, a condom model and a pelvic exam model – students had positive comments (I found the breast a bit sticky) but realistic. http://www.healthedco.com/

B. Visible Human – This is the famous project of the NLM Lister Hill Center. It shows transverse sections just like you’ll see in modern imaging. I think its too advanced for beginners, but is the wave of the future
