The author John L. Fox shares his many years of teaching and surgery through more than three hundred illustrations and photographs (including over one hundred in color). Dr. Fox has published many works on neuroscience and clinical neurosurgery and is well-known for his color images of live neurosurgical anatomy as viewed through the operating microscope. Historic techniques, instrumentation and positioning, photographic techniques, cranial anatomy and the cranial flap, and intracranial anatomy as seen from the frontolateral or pterional approach are clearly discussed and illustrated from the operating (right sided) surgeons' perspective. The operations seen in this atlas for the main part involve aneurysms and some tumors. Directed toward neurosurgeons, neuroscientists, and anatomists, the book is intended to serve as an atlas of anatomy as well as a guide to clinical neurosurgery.
The author has been a railway modeller for many years and he is also a trained draughtsman. As detailed drawings of current wagons are difficult to obtain he decided to produce a series of his own drawings of modern British railway wagons (back as far as the 1980s). The book contains approximately 50 collections of drawings in 4mm/ft scale with enlarged detail at 8mm/ft or scaled as appropriate. Each wagon is shown in three elevations, normally over two pages, most accompanied by a colour detail photographs of each particular wagon. There is also an appendix of wagon loads to fit the drawings, which includes Hapag/Lloyd containers, RMC 'Inbulk' Tank, Charter Rail lorry for KOA wagon and Scorpion light tank for KFA wagon. Photographs accompany about half the wagons shown in the appendix.
Everyone knows that Richard III was buried in Leicester; everyone knows that he had a deformed body; everyone knows he had a twisted spine; everyone knows that one of his shoulders was higher than the other; because that was what Rous said. Before ever they carried out any of their "tests", before another "expert" had examined the remains, those pseudo-scientists had had all their previous "knowledge" about Richard confirmed. From that first glance, it was a foregone conclusion that they would have the "results" to confirm their initial judgment. The truth is that there is not one scintilla of credible evidence that Richard III had any anatomical abnormality. So any one claiming to have found his remains, because those bones show the person suffered from a twisted spine, is mistaken. The Leicester grave-diggers have not the bones of the King, because the King did not have a twisted spine. There is no reliable evidence of any kind of deformity in King Richard III. The body in the car park is not his.
