Pocket Anatomy

Illustrated with the original drawings from the classic Gray's Anatomy

Christopher Joseph

Gray’s Anatomy, that classic beloved of medical students for over 100 years, is the fundamental work underlying Pocket Anatomy. But this is Gray’s with a difference – with all the fine engravings of the original, but accompanied by fresher, more accessible text that explains in lay terms exactly how the hip bone is connected to the thigh bone, and all the other systems as well. The book contains 350 detailed engravings – many of them in colour – and is an invaluable guide for all students of anatomy, whether studying for medical or artistic purposes. It is also an appealing sourcebook for artists looking for inspiration from the exquisitely detailed engravings.

Published: May, 2006

Christopher Joseph studied at Trinity College, Oxford, and his published work ranges from scientific texts to historical articles for the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.
