Reviews

"The all-important tradition of improvement with age is most emphatically maintained by the newest edition of Gray's Anatomy . . . New and important ground has been broken . . . The authors have increasingly taken on the task of accommodating the new uses to which anatomy is being put in clinical situations, such as minimally invasive surgery, endoscopy, arthroscopy, microsurgery, and the entire expanding field of imaging, including three-dimensional studies . . . Beautifully produced and medically invaluable." - Scientific American, review of the 39th edition

Index

..fundamentele medicinei incep fara tagada cu Anatomia lui Gray ! aproape am cersit inainte de 1989 franturi de text dintr-o asemenea carte. Sunt fericit sa o am chiar si dupa multi ani de asteptare. Este potrivita pentru orice student studios si pasionat, medic in formare [te lumineaza in fiecare zi !] .. si mai ales chirurgilor [raporturile anatomice sunt prezentate mai bine ca oriunde].

Super carte ! super pret !
