Wombs with a View: Illustrations of the Gravid Uterus from the Renaissance through the Nineteenth Century de Lawrence D. Longo

Wombs with a View: Illustrations of the Gravid Uterus from the Renaissance through the Nineteenth Century

Autor Lawrence D. Longo, Lawrence P. Reynolds
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 mai 2016
The volume provides an archive of some of the most beautiful illustrations ever made of the gravid uterus with fetus and placenta, which will serve future generations of investigators, educators, and students of reproduction. The approximately two hundred figures from over one hundred volumes included are from the late fifteenth through the nineteenth century.
For each author whose work is depicted in this volume, we have used the first edition or first illustrated edition. In the commentary, each volume and illustration is placed in its historical perspective, noting both the significance of that image, but also some background on the life and work of the author. For most of the works cited, there are additional references for the reader who may wish to explore these in greater depth. This volume is a unique collection not only of these historical images, but also their place in the development of scientific study.

Recenzii

“Lawrence D. Longo and Lawrence P. Reynolds’s volume provides a compelling and compendious archive of illustrations of the gravid uterus with fetus and placenta from the late fifteenth through to the nineteenth century. … The strength of the volume is that it achieves this goal by a judicious selection of illustrations that are beautifully reproduced in rich detail.” (Rory du Plessis, ISIS, Vol. 109 (1), March, 2018)

“This title will serve as a helpful resource to students, faculty, and researchers. As one expects in a book from Springer, the illustrations, which serve as the heart of this book, are beautifully printed, and the larger format allows for adequate scale. This is certainly a volume that should be available in any medical library. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty and researchers; professionals.” (I. Richman, Choice, Vol. 54 (4), December, 2016)
