Getty Trust Publications Flesh and Bones: The Art of Anatomy
Book SynopsisFor centuries, anatomy was a fundamental component of artistic training, as artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo sought to skillfully portray the human form. In Europe, illustrations that captured the complex structure of the body-spectacularly realized by anatomists, artists, and printmakers in early atlases such as Andreas Vesalius's De humani corporis fabrica libri septem of 1543-found an audience with both medical practitioners and artists.; Flesh and Bones examines the inventive ways anatomy has been presented from the sixteenth through the twenty-first century, including an animated corpse displaying its own body for study, anatomized antique sculpture, spectacular life-size prints, delicate paper flaps, and 3-D stereoscopic photographs. Drawn primarily from the vast holdings of the Getty Research Institute, the over 150 striking images, which range in media from woodcut to neon, reveal the uncanny beauty of the human body under the skin. This volume is published to accompany an exhibition at the Getty Research Institute at the Getty Center from February 22 to July 10, 2022.Trade Review"Before the X-ray, CT scan, or MRI, Renaissance anatomists, draftsmen, and printmakers worked together to visualize and represent the structure and function of the human body. Their work reveals an evolving aspiration to realism and profound creativity and invention, as well as a continuing revision of past efforts to depict and understand ourselves and our place in the world. Monique Kornell's lavishly illustrated Flesh and Bones takes us on a tour of this history through scholarly discussion and an unmatched range of exemplars, from Berengario da Carpi's anatomy book of 1523 to rarities such as the life-size figures by the eighteenth-century Bolognese printmaker Antonio Cattani to the contemporary neon work of Tavares Strachan. Combining the best of historical scholarship and beautiful production quality, this is yet another triumph from Getty Publications." -Gideon Manning, Associate Professor of History of Medicine, Program in the History of Medicine, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center ; "The juxtaposition of anatomists, artists, and physician/surgeons is never more important than in the exposition and understanding of the human body. This beautiful, erudite, and comprehensive review of the interaction between art and science is both welcome and instructive. Brought alive through striking illustrations and lively commentary by experts in the field, it is an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in this fascinating subject. The combination of artistic creativity and technical precision, developed over centuries, is revealed in the many ways of representing the body and its functionality."- Francis Wells, cardiac surgeon, Royal Papworth Hospital, Cambridge, UK ; "Flesh and Bones offers a comprehensive and highly original overview of the development of art and anatomy. Lavishly illustrated and eruditely written, this magnificent volume recounts in fascinating detail the emergence of the modern, visual understanding of the human body. It is a masterful accomplishment that reveals the complex strategies that anatomists, artists, and printmakers employed in their efforts to produce realistic and stunningly beautiful images of what lies beneath the skin." - Daniel Margocsy, Professor in the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine, University of Cambridge; "Flesh and Bones: The Art of Anatomy is a welcome, intensive examination of the complex relationship between European art and anatomy from the Renaissance to the present. While the exhibition and catalogue delve deeply into the roots and history of artistic practices and conventions that became standard in printed anatomical treatises, they also reveal the extraordinary variety and inherent strangeness of Western anatomical images."-- Lyle Massey, Associate Professor of Art History and Visual Studies, University of California, Irvine

Reaktion Books The Art of Anatomy in Medieval Europe
Book SynopsisThis book is the first modern history of medieval European anatomical images. Richly illustrated, it explores the many ways in which medieval surgeons, doctors, monks and artists understood and depicted human anatomy. Taylor McCall refutes the common misconception that Renaissance artists and anatomists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Andreas Vesalius were the ‘fathers’ of anatomy, and the first to perform scientific human dissection; on the contrary, she proves these Renaissance figures drew upon centuries of visual and written tradition in their works. This interdisciplinary book will appeal to general audiences interested in the history of the body and medical professionals curious about the history of their discipline, as well as historians of art, medicine and medieval culture.

NMSE - Publishing Ltd Anatomy: A Matter of Death and Life
Book SynopsisHistory and science collide in the fascinating history of anatomy, from artistic explorations by Leonardo da Vinci and the full-body papier-mâché model produced by Louis Auzoux to the crimes of William Burke and William Hare in 19th-century Edinburgh. This history of how anatomy was studied focuses on Edinburgh and the West Port murders in 1828 and acknowledges the science’s reliance on dead bodies taken without consent. Edinburgh was an important centre for medical teaching at this time but the sixteen murders exposed the darker side of the practice and study of medicine – the bodies were sold by Burke and Hare to the Edinburgh University anatomist Dr Robert Knox. The book accompanies a major exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland beginning 2 July 2022 which charts five hundred years of medical exploration.Table of ContentsIntroduction/History of Anatomy/Edinburgh and Anatomy/the West Port murders/An end to grave robbing, Further reading, Acknowledgements

Book SynopsisTrade Review"In Evolution's Bite, palaeoanthropologist Peter Ungar offers a compelling account of how the interaction of teeth, diet and environment has shaped human evolution."--Louise Humphrey, Nature "Evolution's Bite combines personal anecdotes from Ungar's own career with vivid historical accounts of the work of some of the pioneers in the fields of paleoanthropology, primatology, dental functional anatomy, and paleoclimatology... [W]ritten in an easy-to-read style."--K. Christopher Beard, Science "[A] fascinating exploration of the world of teeth and what they have to teach us about the evolution of modern humans and the environments that shaped that process... Ungar's book is about as close to a tour de force as a science book is likely to get. The writing is accessible, often witty, and the balance between discussion of what the empirical data has to show us and the history of the field of paleoarchaeology itself creates a narrative of the lives of both the discovered and the discoverers that is hard to put down... I recommend this book with my highest praise."--David Brock, NSTA Recommends "Ungar has spent his career studying the evolution of teeth. [Evolution's Bite] blends the results of his work with new research from many other disciplines... An excellent book for those with a serious interest in anthropology."--Library JournalTable of ContentsAcknowledgments ix Introduction 1 1 How Teeth Work 5 2 How Teeth Are Used 34 3 Out of the Garden 60 4 Our Changing World 87 5 Foodprints 110 6 What Made Us Human 140 7 The Neolithic Revolution 169 8 Victims of Our Own Success 198 Notes 209 Index 229

Stanford University Press Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic
Book SynopsisThere's a silent epidemic in western civilization, and it is right under our noses. Our jaws are getting smaller and our teeth crooked and crowded, creating not only aesthetic challenges but also difficulties with breathing. Modern orthodontics has persuaded us that braces and oral devices can correct these problems. While teeth can certainly be straightened, what about the underlying causes of this rapid shift in oral evolution and the health risks posed by obstructed airways? Sandra Kahn and Paul R. Ehrlich, a pioneering orthodontist and a world-renowned evolutionist, respectively, present the biological, dietary, and cultural changes that have driven us toward this major health challenge. They propose simple adjustments that can alleviate this developing crisis, as well as a major alternative to orthodontics that promises more significant long-term relief. Jaws will change your life. Every parent should read this book.Trade Review"Paul Ehrlich is the world's best-known and most distinguished ecologist, and one of the best known figures in any field of science. Now, teaming up with Sandra Kahn, he offers us his most personal and practical book to date. You'll discover the widespread consequences of how you carry out such seemingly mundane, automatic, and repetitive acts as breathing, smiling, and sleeping—and how your ways of doing those things affect peoples' perceptions of you. Read, enjoy, learn, and prepare to be astonished!"—Jared Diamond, Pulitzer-Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel "The specialty of orthodontics has the potential to lead the way out of this epidemic of chronic disease (including malocclusion). We need only read and understand this book first."—Barry Raphael, Head of the Raphael Center for Integrative Orthodontics"People have some power to protect their children from this serious and cryptic environmental problem. Jaws lays out both causes and cures."—Gretchen C. Daily, Bing Professor of Environmental Science, Stanford UniversityJaws is a must read for every parent on this planet. It addresses the causes of our chronic health crisis and tells us how to prevent it while correcting our faces, jaws and airways. Airway health will give the most added value for this generation's overall wellness."—Michael Gelb DDS, MS"Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic is a well-researched book providing unique overview and insight in to a healthcare problem frequently overlooked by child healthcare professionals. Sleep is likely as important to health and well-being as food, but receives little attention. This book is an important read for all professionals who care for children. It also asks questions for possible future research in the field of pediatric obstructive sleep disordered breathing."—Stephen H. Sheldon, author of Principles and Practice of Pediatric Sleep Medicine"Drs. Kahn and Ehrlich's cogent narrative describing the structural, functional and behavioral changes in the human species truly challenges the cultural and educational orthodoxies in the West's disease management healthcare system. It begs the question, 'why did it take so long to bring this enlightened insight into mainstream thought with all the available evidence presented?' The answer to this question is meticulously answered in the very readable pages of this important work; read on!"—Mark A. Cruz, DDS, The Airway and Facial Development Collaborative"Elucidation of what can be called a classic public health risk factor for a little understood disease, one with heavy influence of both social determinants and individual behaviors as well as their interactions."—Kirk R. Smith, University of California, Berkeley"Your Oral Posture is your future."—John Mew, Head of the London School of Facial Orthotropics"Every parent wants their child to grow strong and healthy. Orthodontics chosen for your child can be the most important choice to give a structural foundation to health. Sandra and Paul present important information that any parent should know about in order to give their children the cranial facial structure for beauty and health. This is a brilliant work by two brilliant scientists."—Mark Abrahamson, Stanford Center for Integrative Medicine"This manuscript looks beyond the flashy smile that so many of us pay our orthodontists for and asks the hard question: Why is it we are almost all born with the faces of angels, yet so few maintain that face value of our innate and inborn beauty? The answer revealed is intriguing, thought provoking and a much needed call to action to fight for the fullest physical potential for all our children. A must read!"—Simon Wong, BDSc., London School of Facial Orthotropics"Everyone who is concerned about health needs to have this information."—William M. Hang DDS, MSD"About 90 percent of our children have bite problems. When more than 50 percent of a population has a problem it is an epidemic. Sandra Kahn and Paul Ehrlich present the causes and consequences of this epidemic affecting our young generations. This book educates the public and dental community on treating and preventing the underlying problem, instead of just aligning teeth."—German Ramirez-Yañez DDS, MDSc, MSc, PhD"Every new parent should chew on this book. Who knew that how we suckle, chew and breathe as an infant can set us off on a course toward serious orthodontic treatment, a life of sleep apnea, cardiovascular problems and sudden death while sleeping? Kahn and Ehrlich clearly and comprehensively describe a hidden epidemic that impairs the health of far too many people, young and old. They explore the causes of the epidemic, and crucially, provide practical advice that helps you prevent the epidemic from affecting your child, or amazingly, how its progress can be reversed in childhood if it has already started. This book should be in every new mom's care package when she leaves the hospital."—John Peterson Myers, Chief Scientist, Environmental Health Sciences"Sandra Kahn and Paul Ehrlich clearly define and explain the hidden epidemic that exists around us. Emphasizing prevention and cure rather than symptom management, this book is a must read."—Dror Aizenbud, DMD, MSc, Rambam Medical Campus, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel"This epidemic has important consequences for heart health. I'm delighted Jaws is bringing it home to both citizens and health care professionals."—Dr. John S. Schroeder, Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine, Stanford UniversityTable of Contents1.

Stanford University Press Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic
Book SynopsisThere's a silent epidemic in western civilization, and it is right under our noses. Our jaws are getting smaller and our teeth crooked and crowded, creating not only aesthetic challenges but also difficulties with breathing. Modern orthodontics has persuaded us that braces and oral devices can correct these problems. While teeth can certainly be straightened, what about the underlying causes of this rapid shift in oral evolution and the health risks posed by obstructed airways? Sandra Kahn and Paul R. Ehrlich, a pioneering orthodontist and a world-renowned evolutionist, respectively, present the biological, dietary, and cultural changes that have driven us toward this major health challenge. They propose simple adjustments that can alleviate this developing crisis, as well as a major alternative to orthodontics that promises more significant long-term relief. Jaws will change your life. Every parent should read this book.Trade Review"Paul Ehrlich is the world's best-known and most distinguished ecologist, and one of the best known figures in any field of science. Now, teaming up with Sandra Kahn, he offers us his most personal and practical book to date. You'll discover the widespread consequences of how you carry out such seemingly mundane, automatic, and repetitive acts as breathing, smiling, and sleeping—and how your ways of doing those things affect peoples' perceptions of you. Read, enjoy, learn, and prepare to be astonished!"—Jared Diamond, Pulitzer-Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel "The specialty of orthodontics has the potential to lead the way out of this epidemic of chronic disease (including malocclusion). We need only read and understand this book first."—Barry Raphael, Head of the Raphael Center for Integrative Orthodontics"People have some power to protect their children from this serious and cryptic environmental problem. Jaws lays out both causes and cures."—Gretchen C. Daily, Bing Professor of Environmental Science, Stanford UniversityJaws is a must read for every parent on this planet. It addresses the causes of our chronic health crisis and tells us how to prevent it while correcting our faces, jaws and airways. Airway health will give the most added value for this generation's overall wellness."—Michael Gelb DDS, MS"Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic is a well-researched book providing unique overview and insight in to a healthcare problem frequently overlooked by child healthcare professionals. Sleep is likely as important to health and well-being as food, but receives little attention. This book is an important read for all professionals who care for children. It also asks questions for possible future research in the field of pediatric obstructive sleep disordered breathing."—Stephen H. Sheldon, author of Principles and Practice of Pediatric Sleep Medicine"Drs. Kahn and Ehrlich's cogent narrative describing the structural, functional and behavioral changes in the human species truly challenges the cultural and educational orthodoxies in the West's disease management healthcare system. It begs the question, 'why did it take so long to bring this enlightened insight into mainstream thought with all the available evidence presented?' The answer to this question is meticulously answered in the very readable pages of this important work; read on!"—Mark A. Cruz, DDS, The Airway and Facial Development Collaborative"Elucidation of what can be called a classic public health risk factor for a little understood disease, one with heavy influence of both social determinants and individual behaviors as well as their interactions."—Kirk R. Smith, University of California, Berkeley"Your Oral Posture is your future."—John Mew, Head of the London School of Facial Orthotropics"Every parent wants their child to grow strong and healthy. Orthodontics chosen for your child can be the most important choice to give a structural foundation to health. Sandra and Paul present important information that any parent should know about in order to give their children the cranial facial structure for beauty and health. This is a brilliant work by two brilliant scientists."—Mark Abrahamson, Stanford Center for Integrative Medicine"This manuscript looks beyond the flashy smile that so many of us pay our orthodontists for and asks the hard question: Why is it we are almost all born with the faces of angels, yet so few maintain that face value of our innate and inborn beauty? The answer revealed is intriguing, thought provoking and a much needed call to action to fight for the fullest physical potential for all our children. A must read!"—Simon Wong, BDSc., London School of Facial Orthotropics"Everyone who is concerned about health needs to have this information."—William M. Hang DDS, MSD"About 90 percent of our children have bite problems. When more than 50 percent of a population has a problem it is an epidemic. Sandra Kahn and Paul Ehrlich present the causes and consequences of this epidemic affecting our young generations. This book educates the public and dental community on treating and preventing the underlying problem, instead of just aligning teeth."—German Ramirez-Yañez DDS, MDSc, MSc, PhD"Every new parent should chew on this book. Who knew that how we suckle, chew and breathe as an infant can set us off on a course toward serious orthodontic treatment, a life of sleep apnea, cardiovascular problems and sudden death while sleeping? Kahn and Ehrlich clearly and comprehensively describe a hidden epidemic that impairs the health of far too many people, young and old. They explore the causes of the epidemic, and crucially, provide practical advice that helps you prevent the epidemic from affecting your child, or amazingly, how its progress can be reversed in childhood if it has already started. This book should be in every new mom's care package when she leaves the hospital."—John Peterson Myers, Chief Scientist, Environmental Health Sciences"Sandra Kahn and Paul Ehrlich clearly define and explain the hidden epidemic that exists around us. Emphasizing prevention and cure rather than symptom management, this book is a must read."—Dror Aizenbud, DMD, MSc, Rambam Medical Campus, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel"This epidemic has important consequences for heart health. I'm delighted Jaws is bringing it home to both citizens and health care professionals."—Dr. John S. Schroeder, Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine, Stanford UniversityTable of Contents1.
