Wolf-Heideggers Atlas of Human Anatomy, revised, updated and modernized completely by Prof. Dr. med. Petra Köpf-Maier, appears new in two volumes. This 5th edition of this classic of anatomy is the result of intensive collaboration between recognized scientists, dissectors and graphic artists. The high-class illustrative material, one of the main features of the standard atlas, has been printed in color throughout and extended by providing a large amount of anatomical sections, x-ray plates, computerized tomograms and magnetic resonance images as well as ultrasound pictures. This has been done taking the enormous clinical importance of modern imaging techniques into consideration. Placing the respective anatomical sections and radiologic images directly opposite each other should facilitate the interpretation of CT and MRI scans and open new approaches to a better understanding. A successful clinical approach without an established knowledge of macroscopic anatomy including sectional anatomy is no longer feasible today. Wolf-Heideggers Atlas of Human Anatomy is aimed at students of human medicine and dentistry in the preclinical and clinical stages of their studies as well as clinical practitioners. It conveys an as lifelike as possible aspect of the organ systems of the human body and presents sectional anatomy and radiological pictures in direct opposition to each other.

There are several classic atlases of human anatomy available to the student, with excellent illustrations. However in most cases they are the work of an artist, seeking to present each detail to be seen in the field of view. And such drawings may not be useful to the uninitiated student of anatomy. An anatomy student needs illustrations that give a clear depiction of the layout of individual structures, unobscured by detail that detracts from the main relationships within those structures. Such illustrations can be produced only by a very close collaboration of artist and anatomist and better still if the anatomist himself draws them. This atlas is the result of Dr. Singh's life time's work as both anatomist and artist.

For most of the twentieth century, anthropologists understood themselves as ethnographers. The art of anthropology was the fieldwork-based description of faraway others—of how social structures secretly organized the living-together of a given society, of how a people had endowed the world surrounding them with cultural meaning. While the poetics and politics of anthropology have changed dramatically over the course of a century, the basic equation of anthropology with ethnography—as well as the definition of the human as a social and cultural being—has remained so evident that the possibility of questioning it occurred to hardly anyone. In After Ethnos Tobias Rees endeavors to decouple anthropology from ethnography—and the human from society and culture—and explores the manifold possibilities of practicing a question-based rather than an answer-based anthropology that emanates from this decoupling. What emerges from Rees's provocations is a new understanding of anthropology as a philosophically and poetically inclined, fieldwork-based investigation of what it could mean to be human when the established concepts of the human on which anthropology has been built increasingly fail us.

The purpose of this book, now in its third edition, is to introduce the morphology of vertebrates in a context that emphasizes a comparison of structire and of the function of structural units. The comparative method involves the analysis of the history of structure in both developmental and evolutionary frameworks. The nature of adaptation is the key to this analysis. Adaptation of a species to its environment, as revealed by its structure, function, and reproductive success, is the product of mutation and natural selection–the process of evolution. The evolution of structure and function, then, is the theme of this book which presents, system by system, the evolution of structure and function of vertebrates. Each chapter presents the major evolutionary trends of an organ system, with instructions for laboratory exploration of these trends included so the student can integrate concept with example.

Examining the construction, manipulation and re-definition of life in contemporary technoscientific culture, this book aims to re-focus concern on the ethics rather than on the 'nature' of artificial life.
