Winner of the 2000 William H. Welch Medal given by the American
Association for the History of Medicine. At the heart of medical
history is a deep enigma. The true structure and workings of the
human body are, we casually assume, everywhere the same, a
universal reality. But then we look into the past, and our sense of
reality wavers: accounts of the body in diverse medical traditions
often seem to describe mutually alien, almost unrelated worlds.
"The Expressiveness of the Body" meditates on the contrasts between
the human body described in classical Greek medicine and the body
as envisaged by physicians in ancient China. It asks how this most
basic of human realities came to be conceived by two sophisticated
civilizations in radically diverging ways. And it seeks answers in
fresh and unexpected topics, such as the history of tactile
knowledge, the relationship between ways of seeing and ways of
listening, and the evolution of bloodletting.

Neil Shubin's Your Inner Fish is the unexpected story of how one
creature's journey out of the water made the human body what it is
today - and one man's voyage of discovery in search of our origins.
Have you ever wondered why our bodies look and work and fail the
way they do? One of the world's leading experts in evolutionary
history, Neil Shubin reveals the secrets of our biology: why if we
want to understand our limbs we should take a close look at
Tiktaalik, the first fish capable of doing a push-up; why if we
want to know why we hiccup, the answer is in the way fish breathe;
and why it is that fish teeth are surprisingly similar to human
breasts. 'This would be Darwin's book of the year' Sunday Telegraph

work ... expressed so clearly and with such good humour' Financial
Times 'Will make you think about your organs in ways you have never
considered before' Sunday Times Neil Shubin is a palaeontologist in
the great tradition of his mentors, Ernst Mayr and Stephen Jay
Gould. He has discovered fossils around the world that have changed
the way we think about many of the key transitions in evolution and
has pioneered a new synthesis of expeditionary palaeontology,
developmental genetics and genomics. He trained at Columbia,
Harvard and Berkeley and is currently Chairman of the Department of
Anatomy at the University of Chicago.

This is the tenth volume in the Loeb Classical Library's ongoing
edition of Hippocrates' invaluable texts, which provide essential
information about the practice of medicine in antiquity and about
Greek theories concerning the human body. Here, Paul Potter
presents the Greek text with facing English translation of five
treatises, four concerning human reproduction (Generation, Nature
of the Child) and reproductive disorders (Nature of Women,
Barrenness), and one (Diseases 4) that expounds a general theory of
physiology and pathology.
As one of the first cortical areas to be explored experimentally,
the motor cortex continues to be the focus of intense research.
Motor Cortex in Voluntary Movements: A Distributed System for
Distributed Functions presents developments in motor cortex
research, making it possible to understand and interpret neural
activity and use it to reconstruct movements. Featuring viewpoints
based on monkey and human studies, the book focuses on how neuronal
activity changes during learning, discusses what the motor cortex
encodes for, and covers the neuronal representations of voluntary
movements and the mechanism of their generation during learning.
Section 1 uses functional neuroanatomy and imaging studies to
describe motor cortical function, and Section 2 provides an
overview of studies about neural representations in the motor
cortex. The third section concentrates on motor learning, and the
final section highlights the reconstruction of movements using
brain activity. Revealing many exciting applications of this
rapidly expanding science, this book enhances our understanding of
the generation of motor commands. It is an essential resource for
neuroscientists interested in motor function, rehabilitation
medicine practitioners, and biomedical engineers.

In 1768, Ahmad al-Damanhuri became the rector (shaykh) of al-Azhar,
which was one of the most authoritative and respected positions in
the Ottoman Empire. He occupied this position until his death.
Despite being a prolific author, whose writings are largely extant,
al-Damanhuri remains almost unknown, and much of his work awaits
study and analysis. This book aims to shed light on al-Damanhuri's
diverse intellectual background, and that of and his
contemporaries, building on and continuing the scholarship on the
academic thought of the late Ottoman Empire. The book specifically
investigates the intersection of medical and religious knowledge in
Eighteenth-Century Egypt. It takes as its focus a manuscript on
anatomy by al-Damanhuri (d. 1778), entitled "The Clear Statement on
the Science of Anatomy (al-qawl al-sarih fi 'ilm al-tashrih),". The
book includes an edited translation of The Clear Statement, which
is a well-known but unstudied and unpublished manuscript. It also
provides a summary translation and analysis of al-Damanhuri's own
intellectual autobiography. As such, the book provides an important
window into a period that remains deeply understudied and a topic
that continues to cause debates and controversies. This study,
therefore, will be of keen interest to scholars working on the
"post-Classical" Islamic world, as well as historians of religion,
science, and medicine looking beyond Europe in the Early Modern
period.
Physicians around the world are familiar with Johannes Rohen's
books on human anatomy. In this, his last major work, Rohen
presents the fruits of a lifelong study of the human organism.
Viewing the various organs and organ systems as part of a dynamic
whole, Rohen arrives at new and profound insights. This book
significantly supplements and expands the concepts of general
anatomy and offers a new basis for approaching the interaction of
body and soul. Functional Morphology offers fresh insight and
inspiration for physicians, therapists, educators, and anyone
interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the human organism.
Roiger and Bullock's unique pedagogical and visual approach helps
students make the important connections between systems and learn
how the body functions normally in homeostasis, and how disruption
of homeostasis leads to disease and disorder. With a
straightforward, engaging writing style, the authors explain
difficult concepts in the context of routine activities, making
concepts easier to grasp. Measurable learning outcomes throughout
the textbook, workbook, and digital learning and assessment program
help direct students through the content so there are no surprises.
Anatomy, Physiology, Disease requires no prior knowledge of
chemistry or cell biology, and is designed for an anatomy and
physiology course or an anatomy, physiology, and pathology course.
It is neither too high nor too low and can be customized to
accommodate the organization of individual courses.

? The Waldeyer was an absolute must. ...] This book was worth its
weight in gold: Didactically and with respect to content, it
connected anatomy with physiology and even more important it
related anatomy to clinical and real life. ...] I kept the Waldeyer
on my desk for many years, especially when I began surgical
training. But even today I keep the 17th edition of the Waldeyer in
my office. You never know... Prof. Dr. med. Dr. phil. Dr. h.c.
