Description:
Not since it first published in 1858 has Gray's Anatomy introduced so
much innovation to the world of anatomical references. A team of
renowned clinicians, anatomists, and basic scientists have radically
transformed this classic resource to incorporate all of the newest
anatomical knowledge reorganized it by body region to parallel clinical
practice and added many new surface anatomy, radiologic anatomy, and
microanatomy images to complement the exquisite artwork that the book
is known for. Although there are now many books called "Gray's
Anatomy," only this 39th Edition carries on the true lineage of the
original text. And, only this 39th Edition delivers so much pragmatic,
clinically indispensable information. The result is, once again, the
world's definitive source on human anatomy..
