Cobb's Anatomy

Irvin S. Cobb's classic and most popular book on anatomy is now available in a beautiful new edition with over 160 illustrations. The hundred-year-old text, still relevant today, explains the inner workings of the body in an accessible and beautiful way using a wide variety of images including anatomical charts, diagrams, and photographs.The book is brief but comprehensive and is filled with witty and fascinating observations from a wry observer at the scene of every major medical discovery. This book was published before World War II, so it reflects a certain degree of racism and sexism at work that would not be acceptable today.
